Electives
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences offers a varied and flexible elective program that provides rigorous study while responding to the changing needs of students. The complete Cooper Union course catalog with course descriptions, academic standards and other useful information is available online and maintained by the Registrar's office.
The following courses fulfill Humanities, Free Elective, and Non-technical Elective requirements for students in Engineering; they fulfill General Studies requirements for students of Architecture; and they fulfill General Studies and Free Elective requirements for students of Art. In addition, courses with the prefix “HTA” fulfill the distributional requirements for Art students in Art History. Electives marked “G” satisfy a “global” art history distribution requirement; electives marked “P” satisfy a “pre-1700” art history distribution requirement. Some courses may satisfy either requirement, but may not be used to satisfy both.
Prerequisites
The prerequisites for all courses with the prefixes “H” and “S” are HSS1,2,3,4. Except with special permission, HTA101A and HTA102B, are pre-requisites for Art History courses. Certain courses have additional pre-requisites.
Credits
Courses with the prefix “H” and “S” carry three credits. Courses with prefix “HTA” carry two credits. 312 Islamic Aesthetics (3 credits), open to all students, may also satisfy an history distribution requirement (either G or P)
