EDUCATION acts as a testing ground for experimental course ideas, welcoming
new ones that deal with cunent and/or controvertial issues. Over the last twenty
years, many classes originating in this program have been incorporated into the
regular university curriculum. As an ASUO (Associated Students ol the l ol O)
program, it is managed entirely by students. We are always open to new ideas
or old ideas with a twist. All students, faculty, and non-student community
members are invited to participate in our program.

3 credits teaching a class. Unlike courses for university credit, non credit classes
and workshops do not need a faculty sponsor Instead, set up your class through
our office. Honorariums may be available for non-credit course instruction.
