[1] University Scholars Courses (USCH)

1300 ON EXPERTISE: THE NECESSITY OF LEADERSHIP AND SCHOLARSHIP This is the gateway course to the University Scholars Program. Program goals include leadership, scholarship, and disciplinary expertise. Therefore, the goal of this course is to explore each of those areas and provide evidence for their necessity in the education and training of future experts, scholars, and leaders. This course will draw on material from a variety of traditions and will require students to engage with challenging readings, frame arguments and provide evidence during in-class discussions, and participate in critical communication about current issues within and across disciplinary areas. Students may count the course as fulfilling either the Diversity or the Responsible Living requirement of the lower-division UCA Core. Prerequisite: Admission to the University Scholars Program.
