STPEC RECOMMENDED COURSE LIST – FALL 2013
If SPIRE will not let you register for a course on the STPEC course list because it is restricted to majors in a particular department, you may wish to e-mail the instructor to ask him/her if he/she is willing to override SPIRE to allow you to enroll. If a course is listed under more than one category you must choose which category you wish the course to fulfill. Only the History elective may be double counted with other courses being taken to fulfill a STPEC requirement.
Please crosscheck time periods on SPIRE or the 5 College site before registering for a class!
These courses are recommended to fulfill the STPEC requirements. Other courses at UMass and the Five College may also be acceptable. If you would like to take a course not on this list, please consult the STPEC Academic Advisor before you take it. Also, note that some of these courses have prerequisites. It is up to you to make sure you are qualified for the courses you select. Five College abbreviations: UM=UMass; AC=AmherstCollege; HC= HampshireCollege; MHC=MountHolyoke; SC=SmithCollege. You must receive a grade of C or better in a course in order for it to count towards your graduation requirements for STPEC.
