ANT 101 Cultural Anthropology
A comparative study of contemporary cultures and institutions with particular attention to primitive and peasant societies. Emphasized are such topics as human evolution and race; pre-scientific writings and ethnology; the concept of culture; language and perception; economics and technology; marriage, the family and kinship; associations, castes and classes; political organization and warfare; religion and magic; folklore and the arts; culture and personality; American culture; cross-cultural contact; and cultural change.
ENG 117 Intro to Literary & Cultural Studies
An introduction to the goals, methods, and implications of literary analysis in the 21st century. The underlying assumption is that there is no such thing as a generic or standard reading of a literary work; all readings take place in and depend on a critical framework, whether that be explicit or implicit. From this starting point, the course is constructed around several critical approaches. One of these is a formalist approach in which students interpret the literary text on the basis of its formal features and stylistic conventions. Students will then explore other opposing and overlapping critical approaches, including but not limited to, feminist, Marxist, historicist, and psychological. Prerequisite: ENG 101 or permission of instructor.
MAR 215 Marketing Channels
A course to provide the student with an appreciation for the complexity of product distribution from the producer to the ultimate consumer. Students are introduced to central markets, wholesaling, retailing, warehousing, transporting, and managing the channels of distribution. Prerequisite: MAR 101.
MAR 218 Advertising
A course designed to help students develop creative and analytical
skills by evaluating ads created by others. In addition, students learn
to plan, budget, execute and manage a successful advertising campaign.
The use of publicity and public relations with a successful advertising
campaign is explored. Prerequisite: MAR 101.
PSY 215 Psychology of Gender

Prerequisite: PSY 110 or permission of instructor.
