Wide Range of Classes Offered in Winter Session
Don’t wait! You have until December 15 to pick your courses and register. Class starts December 17!
This year’s Winter Session course offerings span a wide range of topics and courses of study, including one that satisfies a new required race-relations element for the university’s School of Public Affairs program, which is home to SDSU’s criminal justice major.
Students can fulfill the new race-relations requirement by taking Blacks in the American Justice System — AFRAS 0380 — an existing course in SDSU’s Africana studies program. The course examines “constitutional principles and judicial decisions” as they apply to the political and social condition of Black Americans. It is serving as a starting point for those developing new courses that more specifically apply to the criminal justice program.
