From the Semiotics Track Assessment Report:

There is not a single learning story for Track B, Semiotics Studies. Some majors are using it as an opportunity to take more courses in their chosen fields of study.


Recent Culture Studies Track C Courses

(9 credits) The courses that count for Culture Track C vary so much that essentially this requirement is an elective to take any three courses recommended by your advisor. A study of courses counted toward Track C by graduating seniors from 2006 showed no significant patterns of similarity among student choices.

From the Culture Track Assessment Report:

All courses that serve Track C are already offered in the majors of the various disciplines, or, as in the case of the IN courses, are offered primarily to serve other sequential and non-sequential elements of the university-wide curriculum.  At this time, no courses are designated as Track C courses. Whether or not a particular course satisfies the requirement is decided by the academic advisor.
