There are three literature departments and a English language department. Students can take classes in English, Scottish or Comparative literature. It is not as common to find writing concentration courses, but on occasion these are offered.

The Art History department regularly offers courses for fine arts students. If any studio art classes are taken, there will be an additional fee, because these are taken at the Glasgow School of Art.

Students can take up to two history classes for HIST 395 credit. Often, the area is European, but on occasion there will be an American history or other area history offered.

The fall semester offers a management course equivalent to MGMT 310 for the leadership major. There is no leadership department, so students would not be able to take any leadership in the spring semester or one course in the fall.

Although there is a department for Music, the courses are not open to visiting students. Please contact the study abroad office to learn about alternate options.
