Courses on Albert are organized alphabetically by the academic school or department that offers them, rather than by the topic of each individual course. For some subjects, this is very straightforward—if you want to study German, you look under “German” and see all the courses offered by the German Department in the College of Arts and Science. However, some subjects are so broad that they are taught through several academic departments. If you are interested in how literature is translated into film, for example, you might look for courses offered by the departments of Cinema Studies, Comparative Literature, Dramatic Literature, and English.

Because Gallatin does not have departments, Gallatin course are prefaced by the word Gallatin and listed by subject area. To locate Gallatin courses relevant to undergraduate students simply scroll down to Gallatin on the alphabetized drop down course subject menu and choose the appropriate subject.
