Generally, within your first 60 credit hours (two years) of degree study at the U of M you need to complete:

• a 3 credit hour course with significant content in written English (W); and
• depending on which faculty degree program you registered in, you will be required to complete either one or two mathematics courses with 3 credit hours each to meet the Mathematics (M) requirements of the faculty.

Some faculties have specific W and/or M courses that you need to take; others will allow you to choose any W or M courses. The Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences requires that each degree student complete AGRI 2030 - Technical Communications as the Faculty’s written English (W) requirement.

Courses that meet the W or M requirement for the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences degree students are listed like this in the Undergraduate Calendar:

If you are following the sampling approach and don't have a target faculty in mind, it's a good idea to take your W and M courses in your U1 year.
