EUH 1000, Western Perspectives I, is a study of the West's
geographical, cultural, political, and economic environments, with
an emphasis on how the development of the Western World is part
of a larger process of historical development. This course is
designed to provide a broad basis of knowledge of western
civilization from the dawn of prehistory to c. 1650. In addition to
studying the development of cultures and societies from the
earliest Mesopotamian cultures, the students will also explore the
origins of major religions, the development of western political
structures, and the textual and material culture left behind by those
peoples. All of those aspects of history, major influences on current
societies in Europe and the western hemisphere, are increasingly
apparent in cultures throughout the world in this age of a truly
global society.
EUH 1001, Study of the West's geographical, socio-cultural, political

This course is an introduction to the study of International Relations
and, as such, is designed to introduce key concepts and theories of
the field. In this course, we will survey: (1) three theoretical
traditions in IR; (2) major causes and outcomes of war; (3)
international institutions/organizations and cooperation; (4)
international political economy; and (5) theories of foreign policy.
The objective of this course is to provide you with a basic
introduction to the workings of American government and politics.
This course consists of the study of the constitution, government,
and federal structure of the United States. Federal, state, and local
problems and issues will be considered in the context of American
political culture and history. Special emphasis will be placed on the
United States Constitution, the political principles that underlie it,
the historical context in which it was framed and contemporary
interpretations. By the end of the course you should have gained
insight into the political forces and institutions that shape our
society and, reciprocally, the social forces that influence our
government.
