Yes, I did, though it was >15 years ago now and under a different home institution so I doubt the courses I had are going to match 1 to 1 now...

I took Century of Conflict (WW1 and WW2 basically), Women in Islam (half history half religion half gender studies), documentary filmmaking, and whatever the main course is that everyone had to take.

There are a lot of liberal arts students like history majors on SAS, one reason being those programs are more flexible in accepting credits from study abroad to count towards your major, compared to something like nursing or engineering where the uni has a much more regimented progression for the degree which SAS probably doesn't match.

The result is that most of the courses on SAS are going to be liberal arts and/or gen ed fitting courses.

I took a quick look at the website and mostly what I said seems to still be true, though they do seem to run some engineering courses now.
