Why are IAH courses 4 credits and not 3?
IAH is part of the Integrative Studies curriculum at MSU and all UG students must complete a total of 24 credits, with at least eight (8) credits in each of the three broad knowledge areas: IAH, ISS and ISB/ISP. In the case of IAH these 8 credits are distributed in the following way: 4 cr. A-course + 4 cr. B-course. In addition, IAH courses are writing intensive and 4 contact hours are needed to comply not only with the credit requirement for general education, but also to achieve this academic goal.
