The Barometers guide to Baccalaureate Core courses
Issue date: 9/19/07 Section: Diversions
Per departmental recommendation and personal experience, the staff of The Daily Barometer is providing a list of interesting and sometimes fun Baccalaureate Core courses.
In the list of classes, the Barometer did not include skills courses because most of those requirements are limited. Physical and Biological Science courses were not included because they depend highly on student's interest. Course descriptions are directly from OSU catalog.
