WMU Essential Studies Interactive Model
Level 3: Connections
These courses should generally be taken after level 1 and 2 courses, as they are the culmination of the program. These courses should widen the lens of student perspectives, both engaging them in local, national, or global issues as well as further developing the core skills introduced in levels 1 and 2.
Level 2: Exploration and Discovery
These courses promote student intellectual growth and personal responsibility. Although presented here as a distinct level, these courses may generally be taken at any point in the student's program. When possible, these are recommended to be taken after level 1 courses.
