CORE1001 The purpose of this course is to stimulate personal reflection by carefully examining situations in which individuals struggle to come to grips with some very important features of self--integrity, purity of heart, the ability to make choices. Individuals seek to find meaning in their consciousness of their own mortality and to forge understandings of themselves through consciousness of their relation to nature. The effects of genetics, internal conflict, the totalitarian state and social prejudice pose challenges to the very survival of the individual self, but the challenges show individuals' courage to grow and to survive. Readings include Plato's Apology and Crito, Gilgamesh, Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents, Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Wiesel's Night and Haley's The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

CORE2002 Citizens of the United States have had, since the country?s beginning, a vision of the future which has in its various meanings come to be called The American Dream. This course explores this idea through four questions. Who is to be included in and who is excluded from the Dream? Can the individual?s pursuit of the Dream be harmonized with the claims of the state? Does American art expose a melancholy tension in the American Dream, a tension between nostalgia for the past and a lust for innovation? Lastly, how do the aspects of the Dream that stress wealth, fame and power affect the polity and image of America in the world? Texts include the U. S. Constitution, Franklin?s Autobiography, selections from de Tocqueville?s Democracy in America, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, The Great Gatsby and selections of the artwork from the Whitney Museum of American Art?s collection, The American Effect.?

CORE2003 Our practices seem natural to us. Using sources from anthropologists, historians, sociologists, and philosophers, this course seeks to produce an awareness of one's own being as being in-culture(s). The course will teach students to describe and analyze cultural phenomena in their own lives. Through a study of samples from a variety of cultures, students will examine the fluidity and multiplicity of cultural identities and borders. Ways in which cultures change, how cultures shape and are shaped by individuals, how misunderstandings and tensions arise between cultures and how those differences evolve are central to the course. Understanding some of the dynamics of cultural identity and difference is essential for becoming a global citizen.

UNIV1001 The first course in the University Core program provides support for the transition to university life. Students are introduced to the global mission of the University as well as to the competencies of information and technological literacy. Students participate in formal and informal learning experiences that facilitate their personal and academic growth, enabling them to become more thoughtful and engaged citizens of the world. Respect for individual and cultural differences is fostered throughout the course, as is the generation of positive attitudes toward life long learning.

UNIV1002 The second course in the University Core program helps promote the transition from classroom learning to experiential learning, as well as the transition from academic life to professional life. Students are introduced to methods of self-awareness and engaged learning, and are encouraged to develop an academic plan, with formal and informal components, that supports their ultimate career goals. Respect for individual and cultural differences is fostered throughout the course, as is the importance of an international perspective for professional success.

UNIV2001 In the third course in the University Core program, students learn to describe and analyze cultural phenomena in their own lives, to grapple with cultural differences and to understand cultural conflicts. Through a study of samples across a variety of cultures, students examine the fluidity and multiplicity of cultural identities and borders. Ways in which cultures changes, how cultures shape and are shaped by individuals, how misunderstands and conflicts arise within and between cultures, and how those differences evolve are central to the course. Critical thinking skills are a developed and brought to bear on these topics.

UNIV2002 In the fourth course in the University Core program, students develop essential aspects of critical thinking and apply those skills in evaluating international systems, environmental issues, and human rights questions. Not only will this course demonstrate the global dimensions of crucial contemporary issues, it will also develop the relational thinking that students will be expected to exercise in other academic contexts and throughout the rest of their personal and professional lives. In other words, this course is as much about how to study and think about global problems and relationships as it is a course about specific global issues.
