The course offers sustained exploration and detailed appreciation of Non-Western cultures, focusing on one or a few inter-related cultures each time, or on the cultural heritage of a Non-Western region of the world. In recent years, the course has focused on Modern Asia, The Modern Middle East, and Native American Cultures – Traditional and Contemporary (Maya and Native North American). Sample syllabi from the past few years, including updated GE Element 6 goals, are attached for reference. The course, which immerses students in Non-Western Culture(s) from an integrated and interdisciplinary arts and humanities perspective, is appropriate to Element 6 and is likely to offer something different from many of the other courses in that Element.
