Topics in Social Science
Students wishing to study a topic within the humanities and social sciences not offered as a regular course may request that a liberal studies
faculty member provide an independent study course. This independent study course may not serve as a substitute for any of the courses
in the general education component, including the 300-level electives and senior seminar. Written approval must be given by the instructor
and Liberal Studies department head and reach the Registrar’s Office no later than Friday, first week.
Besides the general education requirements, students are also able to broaden their education by choosing to use their free electives for courses
beyond their majors. All Kettering University students, regardless of major, are entitled to take two courses in any area they choose. These
free electives might be used to acquire a minor in a discipline within the Department of Liberal Studies.
MINORS
The Department of Liberal Studies offers minors in economics, history, literature, pre-law, and international studies for undergraduate
students interested in pursuing work in these fields beyond the requirements of their degrees. Students will have the minor designated on their
