Advising Guide • 2014 – 2015

The Liberal Arts Core Curriculum (LACC) is a required part of all BA, BS, and BFA degree programs and comprises a minimum of 54 of the

180 credit hours necessary for graduation. WOU’s faculty has designed the LACC to prepare students for advanced study in their academic

majors and to help students develop a foundation of basic knowledge necessary for a more successful personal and professional life.

General education and degree requirements for the Bachelor of Music and Honors Program may be found in the WOU Catalog.

Completion of graduation requirements is the responsibility of the student.
