Consulting with an advisor is recommended even before initial enrollment at WSU since many of the major requirements can be coordinated with the General Education program. Because of math prerequisites and course availability, it is imperative to work with an advisor prior to enrolling each semester. Example: Math 621 (Elementary Geometry) is historically offered only in the Fall semester.
