AMCD 200, American Culture:Power/Identity: (This course was originally titled ACST 200: Introduction to American Culture and Difference; the name change has been submitted as an information item to the UCC). In AMCD 200, students learn about the historical and theoretical foundations of Cultural Studies as an academic discipline and use cultural theory to analyze a variety of cultural products and representations. In this course, students look specifically at dominant and subversive constructions of gender, race, ethnicity, national and sexual identities, and how these constructions are deployed through cultural practices and productions such as sports, film and television, folklore and popular culture, youth subcultures, music, and so on. For example, the course may contain units on "nation" and the creation of American mythologies; the process of hero-making in American history; stereotypes and the representation of race and ethnicity in television and film; representations of gender and sexuality in advertising; as well as a section on American music from jazz, blues, folk and roots music, to rock and roll, punk, and hip-hop.

This course focuses on building a range of communication skills through improvisation activities. Students explore theatrical techniques that teach listening, collaboration, spontaneity, team building, emotional intelligence, storytelling, and confident public speaking with connections to academic, professional, and personal situations. In addition to participating in improvisation activities, students will read the works of expert theorists and practitioners of applied improvisation in corporate and professional settings. No previous improvisation experience necessary.

Building Communication Skills through Improvisation II is the second of the two-course sequence that introduces you to the world of applied improvisation. It is a cutting-edge course designed to help you continue building on the communication skills acquired and developed in COMM 246: Building Communication Skills through Improvisation. Unlike its predecessor, COMM 248:Building Communication Skills through Improvisation II is tailored more specifically for the professional world, training students to use improvisation as a tool for human communication, business, and organizational development. It uses different readings, higher-level assignments, and more complex improvisational techniques while maintaining its core focus on teamwork, creative problem-solving, oral communication, nonverbal communication, audience analysis, clarity, and adaptability. Prerequisite: COMM 246

Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and acting in the world that creates positive impact through the development of new and better solutions to customer and societal problems. Entrepreneurs see the world differently, noticing problems that others have overlooked and using passion, creativity and business skills to craft new and better solutions that address those problems effectively and sustainably. In doing so, entrepreneurs create value for others and advance the common good, whether in a startup enterprise, or an established company, or in a social-impact enterprise. In this course, business students of all disciplines will get an introduction to the entrepreneurial process, gaining knowledge and experience in core practices of entrepreneurial discovery and creation. The course is experiential – students will learn by doing, whether through in-class exercises, an exploratory field study, or case study analysis and discussion. Students will learn how this process advances the common good and will identify how it can be deployed within multiple fields of study. Note: Students who receive credit for ENTR 100 may not receive credit for ENTR 200 or ENTR 260.

Major aspects of world and local conflict, theories of social science relating to conflict and violence, and various proposals for solutions. Among the aspects of conflict studied are cultural differences, scarcity of resources, economic and social structures, international trade, the arms race, corruption, oppression and war. Proposed solutions assessed include development, structural changes, world governance, multinational agencies, military power, civilian-based defense, active nonviolence for social change, conflict resolution, disarmament, cultural exchange, religious revival and prayer. These topics are considered in the light of theory, history, and literature. Students apply these concepts by investigating one country or geographic area in depth through a semester long research project. Usually offered every semester.
