Hey everybody! I'm really hoping to get into Ohio University. I've heard good things about their cross cultural classes, but I want to balance my workload. Can anyone suggest some of the less intensive cross cultural classes?
Hello there! Yes, the Cross Cultural classes at Ohio University are definitely worth considering. In fact, they're designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of various cultures, which is an invaluable skill in our increasingly globalized world.
However, as you mentioned, balancing your workload is important as well. One course that many students seem to find manageable is ANTH 1010 - Intro to Cultural Anthropology. This introductory anthropology course isn't too demanding but offers valuable insights into different cultures.
Another course you might consider is GEOG 1300 - World Regional Geography. It's not so much about specific cultures as it is about the global processes that affect them, but it's still considered a cross-cultural class.
Remember, how intensive a course feels can also depend on your personal strengths and interests. For example, if you have a knack for languages, a beginner’s course in a non-familiar language might seem less intensive to you than others. The course catalog and syllabi can also provide a closer look at what's expected in each class, which can help you make your decision.
As always, early communication with course instructors can also provide clarity on coursework and expectations. Good luck with your studies!
