Spring semester is the perfect time to fulfill some Gen Ed requirements
Don't take a gen ed course that you're not passionate about just because you're trying to fulfill a requirement. The education department is offering a number of different courses this spring that fulfill general education requirements while still being relevant to what subjects you're interested in.
