Quest 1

Quest 1 courses fulfill the UF Quest 1 requirement and three credits of the General Education requirement in the Humanities. They are organized under six overarching themes: (1) AI and the Human Experience, (2) How Stories Shape Us, (3) Great Conversations, (4) Conformity and Change, (5) Time and Memory, and (6) Outside the Box.

Unlike typical lower-division courses, Quest 1 extends beyond any one discipline. Quest 1 courses are not a survey of or an introduction to a field. Instead, they apply humanistic modes of inquiry to a topic or theme in order to explore essential questions about the human condition. Quest 1 invites students to reflect on the kinds of questions that are not easy to answer but difficult to ignore.
