ETHS 307 Learning From Communities:
This course uses one to several field trips as core learning experiences. Academic insights are integrated with direct experiences. All field trips are contextualized to be experiential learning rather than recreational cultural tourism. The course revolves around learning from community interactions. Topics will change from semester to semester. If more than one topics course is taken in fulfillment of the major, they must be different course titles. Some offerings of the class may require the student to pay for parking and additional fees or use one's own means of transportation.
