• If there is another class that you think should work, you may send s course description/syllabus to Lin Murdock at linm@uw.edu  and we’ll assess if it can work.

If you decide to substitute one of the courses above, you do not need pre-approval unless noted, but you will need to email Lin to ask her to move the course into your Soc W 506 spot in your degree audit.
