Enroll in Global TIES

Course Overviews

ENG 100D

In ENG 100D (4 credits), students learn the fundamentals of human-centered design in a humanitarian context. Students work with a non-profit client for a single quarter to lay the foundation for a humanitarian project. Certain projects are then carried out over the course of a few quarters to a few years by students enrolled in 100L.

Enroll on WebReg. All majors welcome. No prerequisites necessary.

ENG 100L

In ENG 100L (2 credits), student teams work alongside a non-profit partner to develop and implement a humanitarian project. Each team is a separate section of 100L. The course may be taken up to six times for a letter grade. 100D is a corequisite for 100L. 100D may be taken concurrently with your first 100L course, or you may take 100D then join a 100L project in a future quarter.
