-
3.00 Credits
Independent thesis study. Senior student prepares a body of work, independent of any other course work, for exhibition.
-
3.00 Credits
Required of all senior level BFA candidates. The seminar explores the theoretical and practical issues that influence the art world and careers of artists. Organized on a topical basis, the course provides a link between theory and practice, school and the art and design professions.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a capstone course for BS and BA Visual Arts majors. Through readings, writing, visiting artists' lectures, and independent and collaborative research and projects, students explore the relationship of theory and practice and engage in synthetic and critical thinking about art as well as their own work.
-
6.00 Credits
Execution and presentation of a body of significant work in graphic design/ photography as evidence of the candidate's level of accomplishment. Project selected in consultation with VRL faculty and thesis committee. Paper and slides required. Must be repeated once for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
No description is available for this course.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to solar system including history of astronomy, laws of mechanics and gravitation, motions of heavenly bodies, telescopes, space exploration and descriptions of sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteors. Planetarium demonstrations, sky viewing with telescopes and computer simulations. No science preparation required. Limited use of algebra. No prerequisite.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the universe beyond the solar system. Distance to stars, classes of stars, structure of stars, stellar evolution, white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, pulsars, quasars, radio astronomy, the Milky Way, galaxies, relativity and cosmology. Planetarium demonstrations, sky viewing with telescopes and computer simulation. No science preparation required. Limited use of algebra.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction for science majors. Spherical trigonometry, planetary motions, solar system, formation of stars, H-R diagram, binaries, brightness scale, distance ladder, Doppler effect, stellar masses, parallax, proper motion, radial motion, mass-luminosity, black-body radiation, spectroscopy, telescopes, dense stars, black holes, galaxies, relativity and cosmology.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the animal phyla including the study of structure, metamorphosis, adaptations, and behavior. The development of the students' sensitivity and awareness of what can be learned from careful observations in natural field situations will be emphasized. Designed for non-science majors; does not count toward biology major.
-
3.00 Credits
Designed to introduce students to selected aspects of biology science. By augmenting their understanding of biological concepts, students develop a deeper appreciation of the natural biological phenomena they are in contact with on a daily basis. In addition, students gain the working background necessary to understand contemporary biological issues such as environmental quality (population, pollution, global climate change), the human genome project, genetic engineering, and discoveries in medicine. When individuals become more biologically literate, they are also better equipped to make informed decisions that directly and indirectly impact their own lives.
