CONTEMPORARY ISSUES COURSES

During the junior or senior year, students are required to complete one general education course which applies their skills and knowledge to a problem or issue facing contemporary society. Such courses encourage students to think seriously about the ethical implication of the problem and to integrate ideas and information from several disciplines. Special attention is directed toward enhancing critical reasoning skills. Students enrolling in the required contemporary issues course should have completed ENL112 and their set of eight breadth component courses.

Chemistry contemporary issues courses have no chemistry prerequisite. Therefore, CHM-designated contemporary issues courses may not be applied as elective credit toward completion of any chemistry major or minor program.
