1. Provide skills and content important for MSU students outside a specific discipline.
2. Facilitate the development of at least one, and preferably more than one, of the Characteristics of the MSU Graduate as related to a particular thematic category.
3. Include specific instructional strategies or course activities that engage students in the learning process, and promote students’ content knowledge and skills development.
