How to find classes - POWER SEARCH

You can easily find classes that meet specific requirements without sifting through the entire catalog.
You can ask for a search that will only show, for example "Upper Division", "Non-Western Culture" classes that are taught on M, W, F that are open(not full).

Upper Division Electives

An excellent resource for finding upper division free electives is through Liberal Studies. Go to 'Enroll' and for campus select "Liberal Studies". All of their classes are online and cover some very interesting Sociological topics such as "Homeland/Global Security and Justice". To enroll you will need to sign an add slip at to the College of Liberal Studies advising at McCarter Hall, 1610 Asp Ave. – south of the dorms across the street from the OU pool and Huffman Center.
If you are deployed or have other extenuating circumstances you may contact me (deb@ou.edu) to see about enrolling.
They also offer a few UPPER DIVISION HUMANITIES courses.
