3. Representing Race

ASST 0834

There are two versions of this class taught by different professors- from what I know, there are both African and Asian perspective options (I took the Asian course). Something that makes these courses particularly special is that the material is based off graphic novels. However, do know that these classes are somewhat intense, but will definitely broaden your global awareness. They fulfill the Race and Diversity Gen Ed.

4. Exploring the Cosmos

PHYS 0834

Although I haven’t taken this course, I have heard from others that it is really interesting and a great pick for a Science Gen Ed. You won’t need to get into the whole deep sciencey aspect, since it’s meant to be a course that everyone can get involved in and understand. This course is also an option if you choose to study abroad.
