Beyond traditional offerings we offer unique special topics courses including:
- The Politics of Harry Potter
- Women’s Lives in Asia and Africa
- The American Revolution in the South Carolina Backcountry
- International Terrorism and Political Violence
- History of Disease
- Politics of Global Warming
