Classes you dreamed of here at FGCU...
Whether you are trying to understand your heritage (Genealogy: Exploring Your Roots), develop insight about why superheroes have such a great impact in today’s society (Heroes & Villains: Comic Books & Culture), learn what makes people laugh (The Comedic Lens), 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.
