With the distinction between religion and philosophy being less clear outside the West, non-western philosophies–and Asian philosophies in particular–tend to offer students a different way to think about fundamental issues. Home to the majority of people on our planet, Asia also gave rise to some of the earliest and certainly some of the most influential philosophers in history, including Buddha, Confucius, Ibn Sina, Gandhi, and Mao. In this history of philosophy course, we will explore the development of the major religio-philosophical traditions of the Middle East, South Asia, and the Far East.
Students will be introduced to the fundamental principles of fitness assessment. Various fitness tests for the different fitness parameters including muscular strength and endurance, anaerobic and aerobic power, flexibility, and balance will be practiced. Students will participate as both the test administrator and test subject for all tests. Weekly lecture and lab.

This course introduces the basics of audio production and post production. Students will learn how to capture sound in a studio setting and in field work. They will also explore audio editing, audio processing, and mixing. Both audio production and postproduction components will cover the applications of music, radio, and moving images.
Prerequisites:
Video Production II
MCS‑201
Students will work in small groups to develop, shoot, and edit experimental and dramatic projects with more advanced camera equipment. Materials fee applies.
Video Production II (MCS‑201)
A course designed to develop fluency and skill in the basics of music with reference to performance, theory, and ear training.
An introductory course for students with little or no knowledge of Spanish. While auditory comprehension and oral expression will be emphasized, the study of grammar and vocabulary will reinforce reading and writing skills as well.
A continuation of SPA-101 with continued emphasis on auditory comprehension, oral expression, grammar, and the development of reading and writing skills.
Prerequisites:
Beginning Spanish I
SPA‑101
An introductory course for students with little or no knowledge of Spanish. While auditory comprehension and oral expression will be emphasized, the study of grammar and vocabulary will reinforce reading and writing skills as well.
