THE MARRIAGE 101 COURSE AT NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
Marriage 101 is an opportunity to study love! This undergraduate class at Northwestern University involves a weekly lecture on an aspect of sex, love, and marriage—for example, healthy dating, conflict management, the impact of culture on intimate relationships. There is also a weekly discussion section where small groups of students meet with a pair of graduate teaching assistants in order to apply course concepts more deeply to their own lives.
