How do Off-Campus programs interact with the General Education Program?
At Westmont, we strongly encourage our students to participate in an off-campus program. There are various types of off-campus programs. Some, like England Semester, are oriented toward a particular major. In this case they will have little interaction with the General Education program. Others, notably Westmont in Mexico, Europe Semester, and Urban Semester, are designed to offer various General Education opportunities. In general, a GE-oriented off-campus program will offer courses in the green section and not in the black section. Consequently, when you are planning to go on an off-campus program, it is best to take courses above the line first and reserve the requirements below the line (also written in green) until you know what you will be taking off campus. Common Contexts (taken at Westmont) A. Biblical and Theological Canons 1. Life and Literature of the Old Testament 2. Life and Literature of the New Testament 3. Introduction to Christian Doctrine B.
