- Search for courses with a carat (^) in front of the name. Any course whose name has a carat in front of it is a WIC course.
Step 2: Choose a WIC course
If your major/option has only one WIC course, your choice is easy -- you take that one.
If your major/option has more than one, you may fill the WIC requirement by taking any of the listed courses. If you are unsure about which is best for you, talk with your major professors and with your academic advisor.
Note: To find out who your academic advisor is, please see go to https://advising.oregonstate.edu/ and choose your college. Each college page has a way to find your academic advisors, or to contact academic advising in that college.)
If more than one WIC course looks useful and interesting to you, you may take more than one.
