Classes you dreamed of here at FGCU...
Whether you are trying to understand Social Media's impact on society, (Digital Communication in Our Lives), develop insight into why we identify with the Comic Universe (The Culture of Graphic Novels), learn more about yourself (Unbroken: Finding Your Inner Strength), or develop the skills to install your own permaculture installation (Permaculture Design, Permaculture & Forest Gardening), Integrated Studies has a course for you. Each semester the Department of Integrated Studies mounts an exciting collection of Issues based courses that examine important current topics through a variety of lenses. Students develop critical thinking skills that allow them to see how different perspectives integrate with each other and contribute to a richer understanding of how these diverse points of view converge in real world issues.
