Skill Building Courses

Beyond the general course map, in subsequent years Roosevelt scholars are encouraged to further develop their analytical and reasoning abilities, research and writing aptitudes, public speaking skills, and to engage in structured experiential learning (when practical) and advocacy.

A list of skill building courses follows.  Students may want to incorporate a few of these as schedules allow. Courses with asterisks are included in "major maps" and certificate requirements.

Please consult your catalog requirements or confirm with your academic advisor to ensure that your choices fit with your four year graduation plan.
