Spring 2010 Courses

The Sample Course Listing is a representative sampling of course offerings for the Spring 2010 voyage. Please note that changes will be made to the listing from now until the Final Course Listing is produced.
Courses without an associated faculty name are tentative and very likely to change.
Courses with an associated faculty name are pending. They have been submitted for final approval to our academic sponsor, the University of Virginia. It's possible that minor changes will be made to the course title or description once approved.
Courses with associated course numbers have been approved by our academic sponsor and will be offered during the Spring 2010 voyage.

Each course is three credits unless otherwise noted.
Global Studies is mandatory for all students.
In addition to Global Studies, students are required to register for two more courses for a total of 9 credit hours.

The Final Course Listing will likely be available six months prior to the voyage.
It will consist of a roster of about 85 classes. Disciplines will include Anthropology, Art/Art History, Biological Sciences, Business/Commerce, Communications, Drama/Theatre Arts, Economics, English Literature, English Writing, Environmental Sciences, Geology, History, Music, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Sociology, and Women's Studies.
Lower division courses are designated with 100- and 200-level course numbers. Upper division courses are designated with 300- and 400-level course numbers.
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 disciplinary heading that most closely describes their disciplinary focus. Interdisciplinary courses may appear under more than one heading.
