The intent of this workshop is to provide students with the basic computing skills necessary for success in the Fox School of Business. This workshop will provide students with instruction on how to utilize Microsoft Office tools, as well as basic computer and Internet navigation skills. This workshop will allow students to practice these skills in a lab setting.

This class provides a deep dive into sustainability in action. Students will move from considering sustainability in action at Temple to thinking about it in the context of the city of Philadelphia and then zooming out even further to global conversations. Students will have the opportunity to bring together your interdisciplinary studies to date as you work on a final project of your choice, addressing a topic or question related to any aspect of sustainability at Temple or in the wider Temple community. Examples of projects may include final papers, art installations, film or other visual media, performance, building model, mapping tools, etc. (These projects can re-purpose and build upon ideas explored in prior coursework but cannot re-use work that was previously submitted to fulfill a course requirement.) All final projects must address the three pillars of sustainability - environmental, economic, and social. This course is the final requirement for the undergraduate Certificate in Sustainability.

The General Studies Integrative Seminar is a culminating capstone experience for the Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) program. In this course, students will undertake a semester-long individually-defined project. The project will serve as an opportunity for students to synthesize and expand upon the interdisciplinary ideas and skills learned in their selected academic concentrations. The course will also provide students an opportunity to reflect on their development as learners, and to plan for and explore how their BGS degree will support their future professional and personal pathways. The BGS Integrative Seminar is a writing-intensive course. Students will have an opportunity to work closely with a Temple faculty member to understand the requirements of writing and communicating in their fields, and to develop their ability to communicate effectively. This course is limited to students in their final semester of the Bachelor of General Studies major.
