The course consists of two halves, each earning one-half elective credit. The first half includes instruction on family violence prevention, sexual assault prevention, and self-defense tactics. The second half covers firearm safety education, state and federal firearm laws, and handgun proficiency course information. Students must complete the first half before enrolling in the second.
