Justification for
course/change:
Humanities 1010 courses are designed to teach primarily the humanities of the
Western world. To stay up-to-date in a world that emphasizes diversity and
globalization, it is essential that DSU offer humanities courses that cover non-western
areas of the world. Additionally, an Introduction to Eastern Humanities course would
provide a useful supplement to the Confucius Center recently opened on campus and
the philosophy course offerings in Chinese philosophical thought.
