Alongside your required classes, you will also be expected to take several general education requirements. These courses are an excellent opportunity for you to explore an area you are interested in or don’t know anything about. Many of you may not have liked literature or history (hence not being a humanities major); however, these classes have the ability to both widen your own knowledge and give you a break from all the math/science/coding in your day (as well as often serve as a GPA booster). Whether you are interested in philosophy or psychology, mythology or videography, I am sure you can find a course that interests you. You can use this website to browse classes by the requirements they fill: https://courses.illinois.edu/gened/DEFAULT/DEFAULT. You can also join this Facebook group for more information on easy classes: https://www.facebook.com/groups/112981568741068/. However, I highly recommend choosing gen eds based on the material, not just the gpa averages.
