Race or Ethnicity: A College Requirement

Students who are new to the College of LSA (that is, first time enrolled as an LSA student) in the Fall Term of 1991, and thereafter, must (in any term before graduation) receive credit for one of the approved Race or Ethnicity (ROE) courses such as appear in this listing. Each term's listing will vary as courses are added or deleted by the College of LSA Curriculum Committee. At the time of this publication only University Courses 298 and 299 have been granted blanket approval for meeting the requirement. Otherwise it is most important that you are careful to elect the section of the course taught by the faculty member whose name is listed with the course. Other sections of the course have not been approved to meet this requirement and may not be substituted. Courses meeting the ROE requirement may also help meet either distribution or concentration or composition requirements.

Advanced Placement credit can not be applied toward this requirement.

Fall 1993 Race or Ethnicity Courses

This list is subject to change by the College of LSA Curriculum Committee. Updated versions are posted on the bulletin boards outside 1419 Mason Hall and 1213 Angell Hall. Check these locations to learn about additions or deletions or call POINT-10 (764-6810) or you can access an updated list through MTS on um-gopherblue (LSA publications server).

Please direct any questions regarding fulfillment of the LSA Race or Ethnicity requirement to your advisor or to LSA Checkpoint at POINT-10 (764-6810).
