RECOMMENDED INTRODUCTORY COURSES

Students often find that they are curious about a particular subject area / academic discipline, but they’re just not sure which class(es) to take so that they can learn more about that area. With some help from Department Chairs, we’ve put together a list of courses that provide a good introduction to each department.

Please be aware that you can print a copy of this list by clicking on the little printer icon in the upper right corner of this window.

Descriptions for all courses can be found in the current LU catalog, which can be accessed online at http://catalog.lipscomb.edu
