Topics in WSU 101
A team of faculty and staff worked together, using the best practices in undergraduate first-year programming, to develop the curriculum for WSU 101. Some of the topics students in all sections of WSU 101 will explore include:

Several versions of the course are offered. All versions of the course are based on

information about majors, degree requirements, careers and other specialized material.
You can find the class times in the schedule of courses under the following course
numbers by college. If your college is not in this list, it is not participating and
you should speak to your academic advisor about the options available to you.
