New course introduces students to UMSL

A new course in the College of Arts and Sciences had University of Missouri–St. Louis Chancellor Tom George waxing nostalgic on Friday.

The course George referred to was Interdisciplinary 1003, or University Studies, a new, one-credit-hour course being required this fall for incoming students in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is a basic introduction to the university that covers the university’s history, organization, culture, resources, research programs and accomplishments.
