This course may be repeated for credit up to a maximum of 12 hours, provided the course is taken at different locations.

This course may not be taken as a repeat for a completed liberal arts course or to satisfy an additional liberal arts requirement. Determine how you intend to apply the credits, and then enroll in the appropriate number of hours.

This course is offered to sophomore students in study abroad programs for two credit hours and satisfies the liberal arts requirement for either BOLD 2010 or BOLD 2030.
