  • COM3001 Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar

    Fundamental to the notion of the ‘interdisciplinary’ is the displacement of knowledge from a singular locus onto a set of relationships extending across all human disciplines. To this effect this course introduces students to the critical components that underpin the disciplines found in the liberal arts and the tools needed to understand, explore, analyze, and synthesize within and across disciplines. A pre-requisite, or in some cases, co-requisite, to upper level core courses in the BA liberal arts major, students are provided the platform for understanding the connections between the arts, humanities, and sciences through a theoretical exploration of significant themes. This course will rotate through the BA faculty and departments each semester: the themes and texts will be generated by the faculty teaching the course: the theories and objectives will be those of the course. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Credits: 3.000

    WRT 1012  Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 And EDU 1011   Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 Or EDU 1001   Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 Or EDU 1201   Lecture Min Credits: 2.00
  

  • COM3021 Relationships & Relational Communication

    By studying the practical and theoretical aspects of relational communication, students in this course will learn the techniques for managing the communication demands of meaningful intimate relationships. Students will investigate the role of self-awareness, perception, listening, nonverbal communication, gender difference, and ethics in resolving conflicts and creating more successful interactions between intimate partners, friends and family members. Current research and theory on topics such as attraction, equity, power, gender, and marriage will be explored. Students will be introduced to a range of literature and research from several disciplines. Relational communication skills will be practiced through various experiential formats, such as role-playing, simulations, observations and in-depth analysis of everyday interpersonal exchanges. As a discussion based course, students will be regularly assessed on discussion practices as well as complete assignments such as several 3-5 page research papers on various theories followed by the 8-12 comparative analysis paper. For a final project, students will (metaphorically) construct a personal “relationship toolbox.” Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Students cannot receive credit for both CO2022 and COM3021. Credits: 3.000

  • COM3051 Spec Topics: Intercultural Competence

    Intercultural competence refers to the ability to interact effectively with persons of different cultures. It requires an integration of awareness, attitude, knowledge, and skills. Ultimately this results in forming relationships across cultural boundaries and with improved decision-making and social engagement/work performance in multi-cultural settings. In particular, students will research the differences in cultural attitudes and potential modification needed for engagement in business, health care, and education. Intercultural competence is not simply visiting and learning about another culture, but to think critically about one’s own culture and to acquire the process of coming to understand a new culture which can be used to adapt to a variety of cultures. Students may not receive credit for both COM2051 and COM3051. Credits: 3.000

Such essential dimensions of leadership as interpersonal and intrapersonal communication, ability to motivate groups and individuals through effective facilitation and communication, and the important roles of organization, and effective project and resource management, are all important competencies to be developed through the practicum. The practicum will be a team and focus on a specific process: this year, developing and creating a sustainable student publication that can serve the college in years to come. Credits: 3.000

  • ECO3011 Winter Ecology

    The Winter Ecology course is an in-depth investigation into the physical and biological processes of high elevation/high latitude ecosystems during the winter months. Wintertime offers unique insights into the natural history of organisms and the function of ecosystems that are often not appreciated in warm weather visits to the field.
