This introductory course explores, through the lens of cross-cultural exchange, artistic and architectural production from the late medieval period to the nineteenth century. It considers the Mediterranean and its related regions as dynamic settings where global contacts, prompted by trade, diplomacy, war and conquest, travel, and pilgrimage, strongly shaped material and visual
European Literature Between the Wars — LIT4170.01
In the immediate aftermath of WWI, Europe found itself dramatically reshaped. In the place of the now-dead Dual Monarchy were six new nation states set between borders haphazardly drawn by victors of the war in order to smite the losers. An economic crisis swept the continent, leaving millions starving and rendering the German Mark nearly worthless. In the east, the Soviet
Every Day Everyday Climate Change — APA2181.02
Daily practices connect makers over a duration of time to concepts, issues, and forms we care about. These practices are constrained by a set of guiding principles or frameworks, and are iterative by design. Because of the consistency of work (every day), a daily practice can change us and open us up to new ideas, techniques, and feelings. Daily practice as a concept is used in
Everything Class — DAN2003.02
What if a water bottle were a teacher waiting for you in a classroom? What kind of class would the water bottle be offering----Sonic Meditation, Daily Beverage Curatorial Practice, Aquatic Ecology Research, Subconsciousness Activation, Invisible Color Therapy, Liquid Song Writing, Performance Score Composition for a Water Body, Taste-initiated Somatic Practice, Method of
Evolution — BIO4104.01
Evolutionary theory provides conceptual unity for biology; Darwin’s concept and its derivatives inform every area of life science, from paleontology to molecular biology to physiology to plant and animal behavior to human nature. This course will establish deep grounding in basic evolutionary theory with particular focus on selective processes and life-history theory.

Evolution — BIO4440.01
Evolution is the unifying theory of biology, explaining the diversity of life on Earth and the mechanisms that drive adaptation and speciation. This course will explore the core principles of evolutionary biology, including natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, and the interplay between evolutionary processes and
Evolution and Artificial Selection — BIO2138.01
This course explores the role of artificial selection throughout human history, including in agriculture, the breeding of companion animals, and as a model for understanding evolution by natural and sexual selection. Topics include Mendelian genetics, how genotype leads to phenotype, mutations, domestication, landmark experiments in fox domestication, experimental evolution in
Evolution, Cognition, and Behavior — BIO2130.01
Are nonhuman animals ‘intelligent’? How do they communicate? Do they form life-long memories? Why have different cognitive abilities evolved in different animals? This course will explore these questions and more by integrating across disciplines all aimed at understanding how animals (including humans) have evolved to behave and think. The discovery that nonhuman animals
Evolution: Making Sense Of Aging, Sex, Sociality, Families, and Disease — BIO4318.02
Evolution provides conceptual unity for biology. Darwin’s basic concept, supplemented by 150 years of refinement and additional understanding, informs every area of life science, often in ways that are surprisingly different from the popular understanding (or misunderstanding) of evolutionary theory. This course will establish deep grounding in basic evolutionary theory with
Examining Equality and Equity through the Analysis of Japanese Society in the Edo Period and Meiji Period — JPN4302.01
In this low-intermediate course students will learn and examine Japan’s drastic social changes during the Edo period and the Meiji period to investigate what equality and equity meant to Japanese people. During the Edo Period (1603-1868), Japan closed its doors to other countries for about two hundred fifty years, and this isolation helped Japan develop its own unique culture.
Examining Space — SCU2214.01
This introductory course will investigate basic building techniques and principles behind making Sculpture through experiential learning. A few weeks into term we will participate in an Iron Pour, understanding the practices of shaping wax and preparing sand-molds for participation. The students will also be introduced and immersed within a community of artists off campus. This
Examining Space — SCU2214.01
This introductory course will investigate basic building techniques and principles behind making Sculpture through experiential learning. Within the first couple of weeks of term we will participate in an Iron Pour. The students will shape wax and prepare sand-molds for participation. The students will also be introduced and immersed within a community of artists off campus.
examining space — SCU2214.01
Are you interested in taking a closer look at the immediate and collective spaces that we live in? What are some of the realities that exist around us and why/ how can we build work that pushes against these basic constructs.

Exhibit Design- “oh the stitchery” — DES4109.01
Historical Dress: The Park-McCullough Project Spring ‘26
Working onsite at the local Park-McCullough Historic Governor’s Mansion, students will collaborate in the design of a new exhibition centered around the museum’s “stitchery” or sewing room.
Exhibition Thematic Exposure — AH4101.01
The primary goal in this class is for each student to create a theoretical thematic exhibition consisting of objects, artifacts, images or anything that has justifiable relevance. Originally born out of a visual art context, broader themes outside of visual art are possible. Students are expected to do independent research using source material from the library and the Internet
Existentialism and Phenomenology — PHI2128.01
Phenomenology is the philosophical study of the structures of human experience, whereas existentialism is the study of human existence. These two movements intersect and overlap in the history of philosophy.

Expanded Performance — MPF4279.01
Expanded and invented instruments utilizing electronics, object preparations, field recordings, and non-traditional performance techniques will be used to develop unique sonic vocabularies.
