GEN 131 - Core IB: Self and Community (2 semester hours)

Semester Hours: 2

In the second half of the Core I experience, students apply their critical thinking abilities and their new understandings of “the self” to various academic and cultural communities, both on campus and in the wider region. A student-centered and often student-created course, Core IB requires students to work individually and in teams in order to encounter and interact with these larger communities. Section members will, among other things, plan and implement a final Core I event, research and participate in a cultural field trip, and find and engage in a service learning opportunity. In the process, students develop the skills of leadership, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.

Pre-requisites: Core IA: Knowing the Self.

Offered: spring and May Term.
