Human Behavior (GB)

Requirement: One 3-credit hour course.

GenEd Human Behavior courses address the relationships between individuals and communities. Courses may focus on the relationship between individuals and communities in general or may engage those relationships from specific perspectives (such as art, music, education, religion, economics, politics or education), or look at them within specific themes (such as food & eating, crime, crisis, sexuality, or adolescence).

Human Behavior courses are intended to teach students how to:

  • Understand relationships between individuals and communities;
  • Understand theories or explanations of human behavior used to describe social phenomena;
  • Examine the development of individuals' beliefs, behaviors, and assumptions and how these affect individuals and communities;
  • Apply one disciplinary method to understand human behavior or explain social phenomena;
  • Access and analyze materials related to individuals, communities or social phenomena; and
  • Compare and contrast similar social phenomena across individuals or communities.
