Approved Courses with Civic Responsibilities

Contents (Last updated on November 18, 2008)

Civic Responsibilities Definition

Students should have an understanding of the nature of race and ethnicity, gender, and global communities, and the impact of each on our lives in the contemporary world.  The fulfillment of these goals is achieved by completing major or liberal learning courses designated as meeting each requirement.  Each goal may also be met through an approved program or equivalent sustained experience.  Also, students should seek to sustain and advance the communities in which they live by engaging in an informed and academically based service experience.  The fulfillment of the goal is achieved by completing a course in the major or liberal learning designated as meeting the requirement, or through an approved program or equivalent sustained experience. No single course, program, or sustained experience may satisfy more than two of the four civic responsibility categories.
