UF Quest
UF Quest is part of the University of Florida's General Education requirement. Quest courses ask students to consider why the world is the way it is and what they can do about the problems confronting us. Eschewing rote learning and standardized tests in favor of close reading, critical thinking, and effective communication of ideas, UF Quest promotes a high level of faculty engagement in undergraduate education and gives students the opportunity to choose courses that are meaningful to them to complete the general education requirement.
Students who enter the University of Florida in or after Summer B 2020 are required to take one Quest 1 course to complete 3 credits of the general requirement in the Humanities.

Some Quest courses may also count toward the Writing requirement and/or either the Diversity or International General Education requirement.
