HASS Requirement?

<p>

Well, there are a few different things to think about. Taking classes in Science, Technology, and Society is often nice for people who don’t really like the humanities, because even though you are reading books and writing papers, you’re learning about science and the way it’s affected humanity. My fiance concentrated in STS and really liked all of his classes. I think Comparative Media Studies is much the same – people like the classes because they get to watch a lot of movies.</p>

<p>You might also consider taking a language. The language classes are as much work or more work than the reading/discussion/paper humanities classes, but the work is more frequent and in smaller chunks – you would have a short worksheet three times a week instead of writing a paper, for example.</p>

<p>Taking classes in the economics department is a popular was to fulfill the HASS requirement – hey, it even uses math! :)</p>

<p>Obviously, if you want to fulfill the HASS requirement with the least amount of fuss, it’s a good idea to get all of your HASS-Ds and CI classes out of the way as quickly as possible (preferably by taking classes that are both HASS-D and CI) and picking a concentration that only requires three classes. Then the rest of your HASS slots will be free for random electives that interest you.</p>
