The Inquiry Seminar
- A minimum of 3 semester credits or 5 quarter credits is required to complete the INQS requirement.
- A student entering Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ must either take INQS at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ or transfer in approved equivalent course(s).
- A student entering Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ with an earned Associate Transfer Degree will be considered to have met the INQS requirement.
General information for transfer coursework planning
