Summer 2023 UF Quest 1 Courses

About UF Quest

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. What makes life worth living? What makes a society a fair one? How do we manage conflicts? Who are we in relation to other people or to the natural world?

The UF Quest 1 Requirement

UF Quest 1 courses fulfill the UF Quest 1 requirement and 3 credits of the General Education requirement in the Humanities (see the UF Quest Requirement page for more information). Some UF Quest 1 courses may also fulfill either the Diversity (D) or the International (N) requirement and/or count toward the Writing requirement.
