Students considering majors in history, political science, pre-law, or the humanities will need to hone their critical thinking and analytical skills while simultaneously developing a broad understanding of the complexities of the American government, history, and society. Designed for pre-college students, this course examines the deeply rooted interconnectedness between race and the law.

GY 107: Physical Geology of the Pikes Peak Region
In this course we will be taking advantage of our fabulous and geologically intricate surroundings to explore some major geologic concepts.

The overall goal here is to give you an introduction to the geosciences, and more importantly, to set you up with the tools needed to make observations and interpretations in a scientifically valid manner.
