Development of Western Civilization

DWC & Transfer Status

New students who are accepted to Providence College with advanced standing (transfer) status will be required to complete the following DWC sequence:

2^nd Semester Freshman: 

• DWC 101 - Development of Western Civilization I
    
• DWC 102 - Development of Western Civilization II
    
• DWC 202 - Development of Western Civilization IV
    

1^st Semester Sophomore status or higher:

• DWC 101 - Development of Western Civilization I
    
• DWC 202 - Development of Western Civilization IV
    
   

As DWC 101 is currently only offered in the fall semester, it is recommended that transfer students who begin matriculation in the spring delay enrollment in DWC until the following fall semester.  Students should complete the DWC requirement in sequential order, with DWC 101 as the introductory foundation course and the DWC 202 (Colloquium) as the final course in the program.
