3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will explore the complex creative process whereby early Christians assimilated and synthesized the Greek philosophical ethics and the Hebrew legal tradition into a distinctively Christian moral perspective. The course will focus on the period starting with the Yahwist contributions to the Hebrew Bible through Augustine. Paul of Tarsus will be the central figure in the course. In addition, students will read Plato, several Stoic philosophers, and the Desert Fathers, Origen, Clement, and the Gnostics.

3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course considers the complex relationships between Christian thought/practice and sexuality, centered on notions of eros and embodiment in Christian biblical and ongoing theological tradition. The themes of eros and embodiment in Christian tradition enable the asking of such questions as: In what ways does Christian tradition conceive of the relationship between sexual desire and the desire for God? What is the meaning of the human body, and in what ways do our bodies lead us toward and away from God,according to Christian thinkers? The course then considers how Christian conceptions of eros and embodiment impact our understandings of and ethical decisions regarding such specific issues as Christian conceptions of the origin and meanings of sexuality; the meanings of marriage, singleness, and celibacy; sexual orientation; sexual violence; and the significance of race in the formation of our conceptions of sexuality.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is an environmental study that examines the impact of the human population on the health and sustainability of the environment. With a lab component, it integrates the biological and environmental sciences,seeking to answer whether it is possible to ensure a sustainable future. The course uses a "problem-solving" pedagogyrequiring students to produce their responses in written and oral forms. This course will meet teaching certification requirement for an environmental science course or for a biological laboratory science. (Lab science course)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is focused on the application of scientific techniques to the collection and analysis of evidence used for investigating criminal cases.In the context of investigating criminal cases students will gain an understanding of scientific methodology, analytical thought and techniques used in the analysis of hair and fiber evidence, drugs and toxic substances, arson and explosion, firearms and tools, and biological specimens. The legal and ethical issues surrounding scientific integrity in the collection, handling, and analysis of evidence will also be explored.This course will meet the teaching certification requirement for a physical laboratory science. (Lab science course)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course explores the political, legal and ethical issues that challenge our society's utilization of an increased knowledge of DNA structure and function.The course develops statistical application through analysis of lab work, and written and oral communication through various kinds of class reports. This course will meet teaching certification requirement for a biological laboratory science.(Lab science course)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
A science course approaching the topic of energy from the discipline of physics but involving, at the application level, the larger considerations of individual and societal responsibility, which transcend the paradigms and boundaries of conventional physics courses. Interdisciplinary with philosophy (ethics). One laboratory period per week. This course will meet the teaching certification requirement for a physical laboratory science. (Lab science course)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This science course will use three different disciplines to explore the behavioral correlates that underlie addiction to psychoactive agents. Foundational will be the establishment of the process of science (scientific method) to explore basic principles of the study of drugs (pharmacology) that influence neural systems (neurobiology) and induce changes in behavior (psychology). Lab sessions will reinforce content and allow for analytical and critical development of key concepts. This course will meet teaching certification requirement for a biological laboratory science. (Lab science course)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course investigates various sports-related activities in terms of the physical principles that govern them and analyzes athletic performance from the viewpoint of a physical scientist. In addition, the role that technology plays in the improvement of athletic performance is addressed along with ethical questions related to how athletes attempt to enhance athletic performance. This course will meet the teaching certification requirement for a physical laboratory science. (Lab science course)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
The nature of sound and light is addressed in the context of our auditory and visual senses.Physics of sound, anatomy and physiology of the ear and the pathway to the cerebral cortex,and the psychology of perception are drawn upon to understand the functioning of musical instruments as well as our perception of music. The richness of color sensation in nature and art is addressed by similarly drawing on the physics of light, as well as the anatomy,physiology and psychology of vision. Technological approaches to correcting ocular and auditory defects are addressed as well as means of enhancing or extending the senses of sight and hearing. This course will meet teaching certification requirement for a physical laboratory science. (Lab science course)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Infectious diseases are undergoing a global resurgence due to factors such as human population demographics and behavior, antibiotic resistance, environmental degradation, political and economic decisions, and public health policies. Diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, measles, and polio continue to be of global concern, while other diseases such as Ebola, "Mad Cow" disease, and Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome make their appearance. This course will meet teaching certification requirement for a biological laboratory science. (Lab science course)
