Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

SFU requires all students admitted to an undergraduate degree to complete a minimum of 36 units of courses designated as writing, quantitative, or breadth, with a grade of C- or better to receive the WQB credits requirement. Writing Requirements - Courses with a "W" designation will assist students to learn the course content through the process of writing intensive assignments. These courses will help students to improve their writing abilities and overall communication skills and will teach students to write in the genres of their disciplines. Quantitative Requirements - Courses with "Q" designation will assist students to develop quantitative (numerical, geometric) or formal (deductive, probabilistic) reasoning, and to develop skills in practical problem solving, critical evaluation, or analysis. Breadth Requirements - Courses with "B" designation will expose students to concepts and ideas from a range of disciplines and perspectives outside of their programs.
