Autumn DCX

A required course for all first year and pre-major students, the Autumn DCX will help students transition into UW Bothell, develop skills in writing and communication, information literacy, quantitative literacy and academic integrity, and foster connections across academic disciplines and between the classroom and wider world. 

The Discovery Core Experience courses meet UW Bothell Areas of Inquiry (AOI) requirements such as Natural Sciences (NSc), Social Sciences (SSc), and Arts & Humanities (A&H). You may also see a designation for Writing (W), Composition (C), Diversity (DIV), or Community-Based Learning and Research (E). Each course is worth 5 credits.
