A continuation of Intermediate French I. A more advanced study of spoken and written French. Students continue to improve their proficiencies in oral-aural and reading-writing skills. The textbooks consist of extracts of several works, plays, or novels. Students use basic patterns of speech and review functional grammar. Slightly more advanced translation is included to enhance students’ written French sills. Prerequisite: FR 0201 GE: Languages

3.00 Credits
The study of a special topic in a specific area of applied French linguistics, Francophone literature, and/or culture. This course requires a high level of written and oral French communication skills. Individual program instruction arrangements can be made through the student's advisor and with the course instructor's approval.

3.00 Credits
Freshman Seminar is designed to introduce students to the university academic setting as well as various disciplines in the general education program. Each section also focuses on a topic of special interest. Assignments, classroom exercises, and outside activities assist students in transitioning to university-level work and provide a dynamic atmosphere to build a freshman class community. Unless permission is granted by the Registrar, enrollment in Freshman Seminar is restricted to first-semester freshmen. Students repeating the course to fulfill the General Education Competency Requirement must select a section with a different topic. Effective Fall 2006, all students matriculating at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford with fewer than 18 hours of college credit are required to enroll in Freshman Seminar during their first semester. Students enrolling in associate-degree, pre-engineering, or pre-pharmacy programs are exempt from this requirement.

Warming of the climate system is now evident from observations of increases in surface air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of glaciers and ice caps, and shrinking Arctic sea ice extent. Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures is very likely due to the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations associated with human activities (e.g., agriculture, industry, and land-use changes). Nonetheless, considerable debate surrounds the establishment of greenhouse gas emission limits, and informed government, corporate, and individual action to mitigate the extent and impact of warming has been limited. Improving our knowledge of the Earth’s climate system and past climate changes is therefore a matter of urgency. This course will examine the atmospheric and oceanic interactions that determine the nature of the global climate system. Specifically, the course will explore the origin, evolution, and structure of the Earth’s oceans and atmosphere, radiative and non-radiative components of the Earth’s energy balance, global, synoptic, and mesoscale atmospheric circulation patterns, and surface and deep ocean currents. The course will also consider records of past climate, evidence for recent warming, climate change projections, and climate change policy.

4.00 Credits
An introductory course designed to familiarize students with the physical environment. Topics include: rocks and minerals, interior Earth, plate tectonics, oceans and the hydrosphere, landforms and the physical processes that produce them, and geologic resources. Laboratories cover rock and mineral identifications and map and air photo interpretation of landforms. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. GE: Physical Sciences

4.00 Credits
This course discusses the history of the Earth from its beginnings, almost 4.7 billion years ago, to the present. Covers both the physical history of the Earth itself and the history of life on Earth. Labs will involve an examination of the fossils and rocks that help to unravel this long and complex story. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. GE: Physical Sciences
