With just one week left of planning for pre-registration, ENGAGE wants to remind you of how you can combine civic engagement and your education.

The first place to look for civic engagement related courses is in the handy category labelled “Civic Engagement Certificate.” We will be posting more soon about this co-curricular certificate program, but this is also a great way to isolate some courses that place and emphasis on civic engagement. Courses in this section include:

Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM):
BIOL223: Integration of Clinical Experience and Life Science Learning
BIOL318: Nature and Nurture: The Interplay of Genes and Environment

PSYC251: Psychopathology
PSYC329: Neural Costs of War
RELI221: Islam and Muslim Cultures
SOC260: Media and Society II

However, there are also courses that do not count for the Civic Engagement Certificate that are still interested in issues of civic engagement. Some of these courses include:

Social and Behavioral Sciences

This list is by no means exhaustive, and we will be adding courses as they come to our notice, so check back for more!
