About the Course Listing

• This listing represents the course offerings for the spring 2010 voyage. Course numbers and final syllabi will be posted as we receive them from the respective departments at the University of Virginia.

About Course Requirements and Credit

• Each course is three credits unless otherwise noted.
• All students must register for Global Studies.
• Lower division courses are designated with 1000- and 2000-level course numbers. Upper division courses are designated with 3000- and 4000-level course numbers.
• Students are required to register for a total of 12 credit hours.
• The SEMS mnemonic is assigned to courses that are approved by the University of Virginia (U.Va.) faculty to be offered for credit but for which there is not a simple fit with an existing department at U.Va. The courses offered are often interdisciplinary courses or are courses for which there is no home department at U.Va. The SEMS courses are listed under the heading that most closely describes their disciplinary focus. Interdisciplinary courses may appear under more than one heading.
