IDS 102 - Exploring Public Affairs

Credit Hours: 1
The Public Affairs Mission at Missouri State University sets our education apart and encourages students to use their knowledge and skills to make a positive impact in our world. This course provides the foundation for understanding and applying the three pillars of our Public Affairs Mission - ethical leadership, cultural consciousness, and community engagement. Students will gain an understanding of the connections between the underlying concepts of the pillars and the ways in which public affairs may be enacted in the community. As informed citizens, students will understand the significance and relevance of public issues and public affairs actions they may take in their personal and developing professional lives. Cannot receive credit for both IDS 102 and IDS 302. First-year students will register for IDS 102 and those with more than 60 hours will register for IDS 302.
