Prereq. ALG 051 completed or concurrent - This course includes discussion, lab, and field trips. The student focuses on an analysis of several earth and space systems and concepts. She studies aspects of geology (materials and landforms of the earth's crust and dynamic processes that change and shape the crust), meteorology (weather and climate), and space and planetary science. She investigates forces forming and driving these systems and the interrelationships among these systems. She also evaluates effects of human activities on the earth's systems. This course may be substituted for SC 117 by non-education majors.

She uses maps to interpret, analyze, and communicate information, and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software to evaluate various geologic and environmental hazards. She identifies underlying assumptions and bias in data, evaluates risks, and proposes reasonable actions as an effective citizen. Field trips to local environmental and geologic points of interest are included.

Prereq. IN 130 OR FA 110, HUM 150, PSY 101, SSC 101, SC 118, and SC 120; Developing a Global Perspective Level 2; Effective Citizenship Level 2 - The student learns about the Western tradition of human rights as embodied in documents such as the American Declaration of Independence and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She also studies Chinese history and traditions to provide context for understanding contemporary thinking about human rights in China. An important focus of the course is the relationship among economic change, political change, and human rights. In the main project in the course, each student assumes the role of a member of a nongovernmental organization interested in human rights, such as Amnesty International, and recommends policies for the United States to pursue concerning human rights in China.

Prereq. IN 130 OR FA 110, HUM 150, PSY 101, SSC 101, SC 118, and SC 120; Developing a Global Perspective Level 2; Effective Citizenship Level 2 - This course focuses on the political and economic dimensions of water as a local and global source of power, sustenance, and renewal. The student begins by studying the history of water usage in the United States and by looking at how the U.S. political process works on water issues. As the semester progresses, she broadens her focus to look at other regions and their water issues. She practices media awareness by keeping a "water log" of global water stories in the news. Topics covered mirror those that students may choose to research (e.g., scarcity, pollution, water-borne illnesses, irrigation, religious significance, sanitation, dam construction, privatization, geopolitical water issues). The student ultimately makes a presentation to her peers on one of these issues, on a region or country, and on a nongovernmental organization that works on the issue in the region or country.

Prereq. IN 130 OR FA 110, HUM 150, PSY 101, SSC 101, SC 118, and SC 120; Developing a Global Perspective Level 2; Effective Citizenship Level 2 - The student explores criminal justice systems around the world to gain a better understanding of diverse ways that societies understand and respond to crime, as well as a better understanding of the laws, policies, and institutions they have created to respond to criminal behavior. She learns the legal traditions that are the foundation for these laws and policies, and about the consequences of these approaches to criminal justice for other aspects of society. Particular emphases include policing, courts, and corrections within a variety of national contexts. The student also explores issues with an international focus such as war crimes, genocide, and terrorism. She discovers similarities and differences among national criminal justice systems, and recognizes ways in which crime and responses to crime have become an important feature of globalization. She uses this understanding as a basis for a critique of the criminal justice system in the United States, and to make recommendations for responding to crime locally, nationally, and internationally.
