HIST 205: Maritime History of the Mediterranean

3 credit hours

Since ancient times, the Mediterranean has served both as a barrier and as a commercial and imperial highway. This course serves as an introduction to the maritime history of the Mediterranean from ancient Greece to the middle of the nineteenth century – and demonstrates how one of the world’s oldest waterways has long connected past societies. Offered as a study abroad course.

PHIL 316: Ethics

3 credit hours

Students will be expected to confront, reflect on, compare and contrast, apply, and critically think through, the central ethical traditions offered throughout human history— particularly virtue ethics, deontology, and consequentialism. The course begins with a discussion of critical questions relevant to the study of ethics, such as relativism, human nature, and free will, then turns to examining the main theories and ends with criticisms of ethics.
