Though the University has relaxed its iron-clad rule only slightly, one department now at least partly shares the spotlight of advance information that General Education once held all by itself. Now the undergraduate with an eye towards dabbling a bit in Social Relations, the concentrator looking for now courses to conquer, and the prospective graduate student all have some sort of concrete preview of what lies behind those 32 brief listings in the back of the catalogue.
