Bentley University

Subject:

Description:

Note: Can be used as a social sciences, humanities or arts and sciences elective; required for INT majors. This course satisfies the study abroad requirement. This introductory course adopts a spatial perspective for understanding global physical and human landscape. Reading assignments and class discussions provide a broad-based overview of world regions as defined by physical geography impact their economic and political realities. Each module introduces themes associated with specific regions (for example: Southwest Asia/ North Africa and the economics of oil; or Europe's simultaneous and competing themes of Supranationalism and Devolution). Coverage of world regions is supported by case studies that reinforce concepts by narrowing the scale of inquiry. The overarching goal of the course is to build a solid basic knowledge of the regions of the world that will, in turn, facilitate successful interaction with individuals both in the United States and aboard. As our basic survey course, INT 100 provides the foundation for all other International Studies courses at Bentley. I
