In "Analytical Chemistry I" and "Analytical ChemistrII" students learn how to determine the quantitative composition of a chemical sample. What these techniques all have in common is the need to do calculations to determine composition and statistical analysis to interpret the data. Advanced statistical methods such as those taught in Accelerated Statistics are incredibly useful in determining both the validity and significance of the data. Connections: Chem 331 Analytical Chemistry I or Chem 332 Analytical Chemistry II and Math 151 Accelerated Statistics

The two semesters of Physical Chemistry examine the theoretical underpinnings of the physical behavior of molecules at both the macroscopic (thermodynamics in Physical Chemistry I) and microscopic (quantum mechanics in Physical Chemistry II) levels. Specifically, these courses teach the mathematical representation of molecular behavior. Students taking this connection will establish a diverse mathematical toolbox and then use it as they solve complex physical problems. Connections: Chem 355 Physical Chemistry I or Chem 356 Physical Chemistry II and Math 221 Linear Algebra or Math 236 Multivariable Calculus

The Greeks Onstage is a two-course connection that examines the history, style, techniques and acting of Greek tragedy. Analysis of the social and cultural contexts of drama makes students aware of the political tensions surrounding issues of class, religion, gender, sexuality and national identity. Combining the close reading of texts and the analysis of scripts with actual performance enhances student appreciation and understanding of the material. Connections: Clas 254 The Drama of Fifth Century Athens and Thea 351 Advanced Acting

Molecules to Masterpieces helps students connect the art they create in Arts 11 / Arts 116 or the art they study in Arth 101 / Arth 201 to its chemical underpinnings. All of the classes in this connection look at art through an historical lens, focusing on what materials were used by artists in specific periods. Art, Color, and Chemistry adds the explanation of why those materials were useful in creating lasting, and sometimes not-so-lasting, works of art. Connections: Chem 145 Art, Color and Chemistry and Arth 101 Great Works I or Arth 201 Great Works I (Enhanced) or Arts 111 Two-Dimensional Design or Arts 116 Drawing I

This connection brings together two courses that investigate and shape our relationship with the natural world through analysis and hands-on practice. It represents a multidisciplinary approach to exploring the interaction between humans and the natural world. It provides an understanding of the consequences of human manipulation of the environment through analysis of some of the major environmental problems facing the world. Further, students will apply this understanding to actual environmental conflict situations using the theory and practice of interest-based negotiation in hands-on field-work assignments. Chem 303 explores the underlying biogeochemical cycles controlling the natural world and the ramifications of human disturbance of those cycles. Environmental issues are viewed in light of how science can inform public and private policy decisions. Students are encouraged to consider the link between environmental quality and the human condition and to explore the possibilities for equitable and sustainable technologies. Pols 361 bypasses the traditional approach of politics, seeking compromise, and the law, which produces frequently unstable or societally unacceptable winlose outcomes. It helps students to learn the value of building trust among parties in conflict, by identifying conflicted parties and interests, generating positive responses to them, and embracing rather than compromising on issues of health, safety, and environmental quality. It exposes students to the concept and practice of risk assessment, and the application of these in their fieldwork. Connections: Chem 303 Current Problems in Environmental Chemistry and Pols 361 Environmental Conflict Resolution

This two-course connection will explore the intersection between popular forms of art, music and literature and the historical development of Russia. Students will not only learn how the creativity of individuals and communities influences and is influenced by political, social and economic developments, but also will see how academic disciplines approach similar issues from different perspectives. Connections: Hist 215 History of Russia and Russ 101 Russian Folklore

This connection between Educ 250, Schooling in America and Hist 337, Power and Protest, or Hist 206, Modern America, is based on the common themes explored in all three courses. Schooling in America covers a history of American education (Historical Foundations), and issues of equality and access to education. All three courses explore issues of racial and other forms of inequality and our society's attempts at redress through education and other realms. All courses connect students to pressing issues in the past and in the present. Students taking these classes will be able to see seminal issues in our history from multiple and important points of view. Connections: Educ 250 Schooling in America and Hist 337 Power and Protest in the United States orHist 206 Modern America: 1945 to the Present

Contrary to what scholars early in the 20th century predicted, religion today is playing an increasingly conspicuous role on the world stage as well as in individual lives. Both as shared tradition and as personal faith, religion is also undergoing dramatic change. In our increasingly globalized world, the changing face of religion has become a challenge to us all, whatever our own religious views may be. But the shape of current world events need not be the only impetus for the study of religion. As far back as we can see, it has always been a major factor in human lives. It has provided the contours and texture of social life; influenced intellectual, economic, and political movements; inspired art, architecture, and music; contributed fundamentally to language and literature; and provided insight and meaning for the mass of humanity. In its many forms, it has been the source of great suffering and of great joy. A liberal education remains incomplete without some understanding of religion and its role in history and in individual lives. Together, the courses constituting this connection provide a systematic overview of the world's major religious traditions in conjunction with interpretive frameworks for understanding the nature of the religious response to the inner and outer worlds, the possible meanings of the diverse religious expressions, and the significance of religious involvement in the lives of persons today. Connections: Rel 102 Introduction to the Study of World Religions and Psy 260 Psychology of Religion

In this connection students will study Russia, one of the largest nations in the world, from the point of view of its history and current situation. In Pols 375, students will examine current challenges facing Russia, such as public health crises, depopulation, environmental damage, and political and economic instability, through the lens of political science theory. In Hist 215, they will learn about the historical background of Russian problems. In both courses students will consider whether Russia is somehow "flawed" and whether it can overcome thechallenges it faces today. Connections: Hist 215 History of Russia and Pols 375 The Politics of Social and Economic Problems in Post-Communist Russia
