Immersion Courses
As part of their bachelor's degree requirements, students must complete an immersion - a set of three related general education courses in a focused area linked by a theme or discipline. These upper-level courses are used to meet RIT's general education requirements. In many cases, an immersion can lead to a minor with the addition of two courses. At RIT Kosovo (A.U.K), there are four different immersions offered.
Economics
International Relation
Public Policy
English
Political Science
