Cavalier Education Program

While browsing through spring course listing for next semester, I came
across courses labeled INST, which are student taught Cavalier
education program courses.
Cav Ed are student led courses on various subjects which are taught as
CR/NR credit. According to the CavEd website, the purpose of having
student led courses is, "to give students the opportunity to take
charge of their academic experience – to allow them to share their
passion for and knowledge of subjects outside the traditional
curriculum."
This upcoming spring the following CavEd courses are being offered:

INST 1550-001: Inspiration, Muse, and Genesis

INST 1550-002: Advocacy & the Judicial System

INST 1550-003: Documentaries for Social Change

INST 1550-004: The Art Business

INST 1550-005: Indian Creation Myths

INST 1550-006: U.S. Health Care System

Taking a CavEd course does not count towards your major but does count
toward the amount of credit hours needed. Students are allowed to
include 18 non-college credit courses in the 120 total credits
required for a degree.
