The courses listed below may not be offered every semester. For some courses, only certain sections or only those sections taught by a specific professor will earn points, as noted below next to the course title. In most cases, Engaged Learning points will not be earned for course sections that are fewer than 12-13 weeks long unless specifically noted in the Class Selection Attributes field. Shortened semesters do not allow enough time to complete the Engaged Learning project contained in the full semester course.
Find the description of the courses below and determine how many points it will earn in the Academic Catalog. A course may earn 1, 2 or a maximum of 3 Engaged Learning points no matter how many credits it may earn.
