- The course should be explicit in addressing relationships between theory and data.
- Students will learn to read and evaluate social science research in course.
- The course submitted for consideration should have no prerequisites (exception: 300-400 level courses may have a 100-level prerequisite, as long as the prerequisite course has also been approved for Core)
