the African-American gospel music tradition. This course is a
necessary addition to the current choral program sequence to increase
student exposure to a diverse music curriculum with plans to add as a
general education elective for AA, CSU and UC.
MUS 141: History of Rap Music and Hip Hop Culture
(Arts & Cultural Programs)
Degree Applicable; (3 Units)
Justification: This course will expand the breadth of knowledge in
music history for an increasingly diverse student body by introducing

underrepresented group (African-Americans). The course is intended
to build upon the ideas presented in MUS 136 (History of Jazz), but the
content will be accessible to any student whether or not they have
taken the History of Jazz course. The plan is for this course to become
a general education course for the AA as well as CSU and UC transfer
programs. In addition, the course is planned to become a part of the
General Studies AA with an Emphasis in Arts and Human Expression
degree.
SOC 325: Analysis of Social Change

requirement and provide students with an understanding of how
industry (both global and local) and Technology shape human behavior
