3 credits This course provides students with an exposure to foreign cultures consisting of both travel and study components. Destinations may include countries in Europe, Latin America, or Asia.

This experience will be preceded and/ or followed by additional academic work to be conducted on campus. Study topics may include aspects of the historical, social, economic, political, and aesthetic cultural components appropriate to the location(s) visited. The travel component of the course will be scheduled to avoid conflict with normal semester offerings. A travel fee is required. No foreign language skills are required unless otherwise indicated.

4 credits (Formerly Introduction to the Integrated Sciences) Traditional lectures and laboratory experiences are blended to encourage students to begin asking questions and designing experiments to learn about the physical, life, and earth sciences.

3 credits (Formerly Seminar in the Integrated Sciences) As a senior seminar course, class discussion, presentation, and participation will be emphasized. Science topics covered will extend beyond the range of a single science discipline. Students will evaluate articles (from scientific journals, popular science magazines, newspapers, etc.) to discern the connections among various scientific disciplines, including mathematics. Students will present written critiques of the articles focusing on the proper use of the scientific method, the data analysis techniques (e.g., statistics, mathematics, etc.) and on the plausibility of the interpretations. Students will take turns leading the discussion of the articles. Students will also present a semesterlong project (both written and oral) that focuses on the connections among disciplines of a scientific issue. This project can, instead, focus on developing and presenting an educational lesson plan. This would likely include presenting techniques on data collection and how this issue can be presented to middle school students from a multidisciplinary viewpoint. Prerequisites: ISM-100, senior standing, or permission of instructor.
