Or the 13-oz. box of Fruit Rice cereal ($1.69). "You wouldn't be embarrassed to have that on your counter," says...
...toward Gen Ed’s Science of the Physical Universe requirement. Life and Physical Sciences A: “Foundational Chemistry and Biology” was approved for the Science of Living Systems category. On the humanities side, folklore and mythology professor Maria Tatar’s popular Core class, Literature and Arts A-17: “Childhood: Its History, Philosophy, and Literature,” will fulfill either the Aesthetic and Interpretive Understanding or Culture and Belief requirement—but not both at once, according to Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education Stephanie H.
