Curriculum
The ASU Origins Project is developing a slate of flagship courses designed to guide students through an exploration of the most fundamental questions we ask as humans: Who are we? Where did we come from? How did we get here? Through interaction with top ASU scientists and scholars and guest lecturers from around the globe, students will encounter research at the cutting edge of inquiry even as they look back to the origins of the universe, life, cognition, and human civilization.
