What are the differences between the Global Issues FLC and Explorations?
Both the Global Issues FLC and Explorations are excellent first-year options. Students can pursue a degree in World Literature via the Global Issues FLC, or via Explorations. In the Global FLC, students get started on the requirements for a World Literature degree right away. Additional info, including a course chart, is here. First-year World Literature classes might have blended levels, including second, and perhaps third-year students. Explorations courses are only open to first-year students and are interdisciplinary, combining fields such as sociology, political science, economics, gender studies, geography, or literature, cultural studies, history, visual art, so students have opportunities to try other academic areas which might be of interest, alongside electives of interest (e.g. WL). Additional information on Explorations, including a sample course chart for World Literature via Explorations, can be found here.
