………...……Imagine..….….Investigate……….Innovate………………
Introduced in spring 2010 as a step toward revitalizing general education at Maryland, the I Series courses are designed to investigate significant issues and inspire innovative ideas. Unique to the Maryland undergraduate experience, they fulfill university general education requirements in a creative and contemporary way.
I Series courses challenge entering Maryland students to wrestle with Big Questions. They give students a glimpse of the utility, elegance, and beauty of different disciplines. In I courses, students investigate a significant issue in depth and gain an understanding of how particular disciplines and fields of study address problems. How does a biologist, engineer, poet, or sociologist think?
