New General Education Elective Courses
Next Fall, students in the School of Business will be participating with students from other areas of the College to take courses offered within the pool of general education electives. To prepare for this increase in student numbers, faculty are currently developing five new general education courses:
- Greek Mythology
- World Religions
- A Sense of Humour
- Victimology
- Living Green
These courses will be tested this spring and available in the pool for students this Fall.
Watch for a call for additional general education elective course development to come this spring.
