Ideas & Expression

Catalog description

This is a variable-content course that explores the wide variety of ways in which human beings respond to the world through speech, the written word, technology, numbers, and the creative arts. This course emphasizes the power of ideas to shape human experience and the rich diversity of means by which ideas are communicated. In recognition of the fact that these questions exceed the boundaries of any single discipline, the course will adopt an interdisciplinary approach. The course will integrate some form of experiential learning. Successful completion of this course satisfies the Ideas and Expression requirement of the Honors Program. If a student leaves the Honors Program, this course will count toward the Creative Life category of University Explorations. Course may be taken multiple times for credit. Prerequisite: Admission to the Honors Program or Permission of Honors Director
