Each College of Arts and Sciences course has been assigned a primary curricular role (PCR) based on its function in the major (or in multiple programs). For courses that have multiple roles, the function that has the broadest impact on student progress and enrollment will be used as the PCR. Any suggested revisions to current PCR designations can be sent to jmedlock@gsu.edu.
