Fall 2021 Quest 2 Courses
About UF
UF Quest invites students to consider why the world is the way it is and what they can do about it. Students examine questions that are difficult to answer and hard to ignore in a world that is swiftly changing and becoming increasingly more complex. In UF Quest 2, students draw upon the biological, physical or social and behavioral sciences to explore pressing questions about human societies and/or the planet.
The UF Quest 2 Requirement
Students who enter UF in or after Summer B 2021 are required take one Quest 2 course (either in their first or second year) to complete the UF Quest 2 requirement and to satisfy 3 credits of the General Education requirement in the Social and Behavioral Sciences, the Biological Sciences, or the Physical Sciences (see the UF Quest Requirement page for more information). Honors students are required to take an Honors Quest 2 course to complete the UF Quest 2 requirement. Some Quest 2 courses may also fulfill either the Diversity (D) or the International (N) requirement and/or count toward the Writing requirement.
