-
3.00 Credits
A study of the theory of knowledge, metaphysics, axiology, advanced logic, or some particular thinker, tradition, or theme, depending on needs and interests of students. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
A supervised, pre-approved experience which allows a student to pursue specific learning goals and/or be involved in a field experience during the regular academic semester.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
An academic project designed to encourage student initiative and to provide a degree of flexibility in the departmental program. Normally the subject is not sufficiently or appropriately covered in departmental course offerings. Departmental consent is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Each student must develop a portfolio containing an appropriate body of work that, by the time of graduation, demonstrates the student is ready to make the transition to the professional workplace or graduate school. The specific format and content of the portfolio is determined through consultation of the student with the department and by attending appropriate sessions of PDP 200. PHL 498 is one component of the SNR/SNT 489 requirement. Portfolios will receive either a passing or failing grade. Co-requisites: PHL 499 and SNR/SNT 489.
-
3.00 Credits
Taken concurrently with SNR/SNT 489 (PHL), but may include at the department's discretion a multiplehour comprehensive essay examination covering the history of philosophy and related topics (Oriental thought, political philosophy, ethics, etc.) depending on the student's transcript and senior year experience. A grade of C or better is required for graduation. Co-requisites: PHL 498 and SNR/SNT 489.
-
0.00 Credits
Undistributed Philosophy credit taken in transfer.

4.00 Credits
Astronomy is the oldest science and, in many respects, it is also the newest science; as new discoveries are made with great rapidity in the present age. Astronomy was one of the original seven liberal arts. It was studied because it was necessary to understand astronomy to know when it was. When was it time to plant, when to harvest, when to observe the Holy Days? The great sweep of stars and planets across the sky was somehow intimately connected the changing seasons and the life of the earth. It has been stated by the astronomer Zeilik, "The problem of the design of the cosmos and our place in it has intrigued people for centuries. The picture of the universe painted by a culture betrays many of its beliefs: religious, philosophical, and social. Astronomical observations set the outlines of the cosmic scheme by their demand for explanation. The evolution from fascinated stargazing to a design of the universe has happened in both ancient and contemporary cultures." The universe or the cosmos is in a state of constant evolution, just as is our understanding and explanation of the cosmos. Thus, the study of astronomy must encompass both of these evolutions: the universe from which we were created and our understanding of it. Three hours lecture, two hours laboratory. Satisfies laboratory sciences exploratory requirement. Spring.

5.00 Credits
An entry level, calculus-based general introduction to the basic theories, concepts, and techniques of mechanics (kinematics, dynamics, rotation, gravitation, and waves) and the application of mechanics to heat flow, called thermodynamics. While facility with the mathematics of algebraic functions and trigonometry is assumed, these subjects will be extensively reviewed. The student will also learn to represent physical quantities as vector functions, and to extract information from these functions by the processes of differentiation and integration. Four hours lecture, two hours laboratory. Satisfies laboratory sciences exploratory requirement. Pre- or corequisite: MAT 135. Fall.
-
5.00 Credits
A continuation of PHY 121. Topics of study include: electricity and magnetism, DC and AC circuits, and geometrical and physical optics. Four hours lecture, two hours laboratory. Prerequisite: PHY 121. Spring.
