SJC BROOKLYN | 2015-2016 ACADEMIC YEAR

COLLEGE MISSION The mission of St. Joseph’s College is to provide a strong academic and value-oriented education at the undergraduate and graduate levels, rooted in a liberal arts tradition that supports provision for career preparation and enhancement. The College prepares each student for a life characterized by integrity, intellectual and spiritual values, social responsibility and service. A life that is worthy of the College’s motto: Esse non videri — “To be, not to seem.”

COMMON LEARNING AREA

QUEST FOR MEANING

The St. Joseph’s College core curriculum includes two courses that form the basis for the general education program. The courses in this common learning area improve student writing and communication skills and introduce first-year students to college-level academic work and the college experience at St. Joseph’s through a topic-based seminar and a required first-year experience program. Transfer students enroll in SJC 200 rather than in SJC 100 and FYE.

Rationale: Some questions transcend our specific culture and are deeper and broader than a focused preparation for a career. They invite us to engage in a sustained practice of self-reflection in community with others on things that matter to us as human beings in the world.

c

Students are required to take two courses in this area.

ENG 103 Writing for Effective Communication

Analysis and application of the principles of effective writing. Skills developed in the performance of various writing tasks. Research techniques are also implemented.

Description: Course offerings in this area examine various human attempts to understand the nature of such values as truth, beauty, goodness, justice and love; and invites students to engage in a systematic examination of such core human questions as: Who am I? Why do I exist? What can I know? How can I be a good person? For what can I hope? And even to question these questions. Outcome: Students will be able to formulate and articulate their own view of the meaning of human existence, morality and the good life. Students should achieve a working knowledge of some of the ways in which humans have approached these big questions and attempted to answer them.

Phillip Dehne Joseph Pascarella Seth Armus Jeremy Cash William Trevino Michael Hanophy Peter Lin Antoinette Hertel Jane Beckwith Mik Larson Catherine Meehan Kris Percival

This one-credit course will introduce new transfer students to the mission and goals of St. Joseph’s College. Additionally, students will explore learning and research skills, opportunities for campus and community involvement, and the nature of the liberal arts as envisioned by SJC. This course is required of all transfer students as a vital part of the process of becoming familiar with the ethos of St. Joseph’s College and helping them to integrate into our social and learning environment.

THEMATIC LEARNING AREAS The St. Joseph’s College core curriculum includes courses that represent the areas of human knowledge and culture deemed essential for a liberal education — that is, for free men and women who must assume responsibility for directing their own lives and contributing to national and international decisions. By grouping the courses into five broad thematic learning areas, the College has indicated the relationships among the various disciplines and the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the liberal arts and sciences. To ensure balance across the disciplines and to meet core requirements, students may take no more than two courses from any particular discipline toward the requirements of any thematic learning areas of the core. 1

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES

Students are required to take two courses in this area. Rationale: Openness to the exploration and understanding of diverse ideas, traditions and cultures, coupled with an appreciation of problems that transcend national boundaries, will supply students with a strong background for working in a global economy, living in a multicultural society and making intelligent decisions as global citizens. Description: Course offerings in this area are designed to broaden the perspective of the student to include knowledge of world cultures, traditions and peoples facilitated by the study of a range of global topics presented in courses from diverse disciplines. Outcome: Students will develop sufficient cross-cultural literacy to engage effectively the global community with sensitivity and openmindedness. Students will demonstrate an understanding of the world’s peoples and culture — and of the forces that bring peoples and cultures together — and demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively with people of diverse backgrounds. c c c c c c c c

SELF AND SOCIETY

Students are required to take three courses in this area: one history course and two courses from two of the other areas below. Rationale: No woman or man is an island. Each life exists within the wider context of the human community. Moreover, the story of each generation finds its place within the ever unfolding saga of human experience. Description: Course offerings in this area seek to understand the person within these broad communal and temporal horizons. They examine the reciprocal relationship between the individual and society, situating personal dynamics within a study of the prevailing social, political and economic realities and a historical understanding of how those factors came to be. Outcomes: Students will be able to demonstrate familiarity with some basic concepts and methodological principles in at least two of the social and behavioral sciences and will likewise be able to show that they are conversant with certain essential aspects of the historical method and perspective. c CLA/HIS 122 c CLA/HIS/ PHI 157 c CS 101 c CS 102/ PSY 121 c CS 121 c ECO 240 c EDU 115/ PSY 170 c HIS 100 c HIS 102 c HIS/RS 112 c HIS 114 c HIS 115 c HIS/CLA 122 c HIS 152 c HIS/CLA PHI 157 c HIS 170 c HIS 172 c HIS/CLA/ PHI 196 c HIS 202 c HIS 208 c HIS 210 c HIS 220 c HIS 224

THE MATHEMATICAL, PHYSICAL AND NATURAL WORLD

HUMAN EXPRESSION

Rationale: Understanding our physical and natural world and the ability to think analytically are core components of being an educated person. Hypothesizing and testing the rules that govern the workings of the physical and natural world are the essence of empirical science. Deducing the rules that govern an abstract construct lies at the heart of mathematics. Together, these processes comprise analysis. These important skills can be applied in other disciplines and other aspects of life.

Rationale: Imagination, resourcefulness and the willingness to understand and communicate the human experience through a variety of perspectives and voices are critical capabilities in the modern age.

Students are required to take three courses in this area, including one mathematics course and one lab-science course.

Description: Course offerings in this area invite students to engage in critical thinking and problem solving in the realm of science and mathematics. These courses will provide students with the skills that will enable them to interact effectively with the physical and natural world of the sciences and the abstract world of mathematics. Outcomes: Students will be able to use scientific and inquiry methods when working with mathematics and scientific information and use appropriate mathematical and scientific instruments and technology. They will also develop their ability to solve multi-step problems and construct logical arguments and demonstrate a proficiency in organizing, analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating quantitative and qualitative information. c BIO 108 c BIO 109 c BIO 110 c BIO 112 c BIO 115 c BIO 116 c BIO 118 c BIO 120 c BIO 130 c BIO 131 c BIO 140 c BIO 145 c BIO 150 c BIO 151 c BIO 160 c BIO 161 c BIO 225 c CHE 120 c CHE 135 c CHE 140 c CHE 150 c CHE 151 c CHE 175 c COM 150 c COM 152 c COM 200

INTEGRATED LEARNING AREAS

TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATED

Students will complete one experience in this area. Each experience will include at least three technology areas.

Students entering St. Joseph’s College in fall 2015 must complete at least four integrated learning areas.

Rationale: Technology touches every aspect of our lives and enables us to interact globally as well as locally. A well-educated person needs technological skills to continue to learn, communicate, excel and to be productive in an ever-evolving digital world.

In support of the College’s mission to provide a strong academic and value-oriented education, the St. Joseph’s College core curriculum includes courses and experiences in five integrated learning areas. These areas are designed to build intellectual skills and abilities (Writing Intensive and Technology Integrated), enhance the connections among and between the various academic disciplines and cocurricular life (Learning Communities and Service and Experiential Learning), and foster an environment of openness to the exploration and understanding of diverse ideas, traditions and cultures (Diversity Integrated).

Description: Course offerings and experiences in this area will develop the students’ ability to adapt, navigate and become proficient in at least three of these technological areas: communication and collaboration, creativity and innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, digital citizenship, technology concepts and digital tools.1 These areas are fluid in nature and thus students’ experiences will reflect the constantly changing technologies, applications and systems in our global society.

Students can fulfill the requirements of these integrated learning areas through courses in the thematic areas of the core, the major or electives, as well as through certain approved cocurricular activities.

WRITING INTENSIVE

Students are required to complete two courses in this area, including one before the senior year. ENG 103 does not satisfy this requirement. Rationale: Given the multiple ways students use writing to communicate, we believe that teaching writing across a range of practices — academic, creative and professional — should encourage students to understand the role writing plays in academic life and beyond. Description: Course offerings and experiences in this area will shape students into strong writers by developing their critical and creative reading, thinking and writing abilities associated with expression and composition. Outcome: In addition to improving basic writing skills, students will be able to use writing and reading for critical thinking and creative expression. c ART 225 History of Photography c BIO 110 Topics in Biology (Brooklyn sections only) c BIO 380 Research Seminar c BIO 480 Research c BUS 472 Business Policy Seminar c CHE 240 Scientific Writing and Research c CHE 460 Senior Project c CS 323 Children With Learning Disabilities (Brooklyn sections only) c CS 400 Research in Child Development and Childhood Education c ECO 400 Seminar in Economics c ENG 105 Creative Writing c ENG 106 Drama and Visual Writing c ENG 107 Fiction Writing c ENG 109 Analytical Writing c ENG 110 Communication for Professionals c ENG 125 Introduction to Magazine Writing c ENG 202 Literature/Writing Process c ENG 203 Advanced Expository Writing

SJC LEARNING COMMUNITIES

SERVICE AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Students will complete one experience in this area.

Students will complete one experience in this area.

Rationale: Achieving our goals often requires that we exchange ideas with others, have successful interactions and know how to move forward with others in a constructive way. Whether one is in the field of academia, endeavoring to be an active citizen or developing a career, the ability to learn from and with others is an important skill. Shared learning experiences provide a framework for engaging the social and collaborative nature of knowledge.

Rationale: Connecting academic work to experiences outside the classroom will provide students with opportunities to practice and apply theoretical constructs, ideas and skills that foster professional and personal intellectual maturity. Description: Course offerings or activities in this area may include a variety of options designed to supplement and complement the purely academic and theoretical. Structured experiences will encourage educational interaction and participation in supervised and collaborative ventures that will identify specific learning goals that promote the development of knowledge, skills and dispositions associated with the liberal arts and the professions.

Description: Course offerings in this area emphasize cooperative learning experiences that link courses, curricular material, faculty or student with the aim of promoting deep learning and engagement with other members of the College community.

Outcomes: Students will learn the value of service and/or experiential learning through interactive experiences and reflections within real-world contexts. These experiences will encourage students to forge a link between theory and practice while clarifying students’ connections to their local and global communities. Students will thus come to recognize the value of and need for ongoing inquiry, analysis and evaluation.

Outcomes: Students will demonstrate an appreciation of how interdisciplinary and community learning experiences contribute to the integration of knowledge, enhance the value of a liberal arts education and offer deeper understanding of the material they are learning through more interaction with one another and their teachers as fellow participants in the learning enterprise.

DIVERSITY INTEGRATED

Students will complete one experience in this area. Rationale: The liberal arts tradition should prepare students for lives of integrity, social responsibility and service, in an environment that acknowledges the worth of all individuals, values cooperation and incorporates the diverse concerns of dissenting voices. This core requirement prepares students to understand more fully issues and questions raised by living in a diverse society. Description: Course offerings in this area are designed to incorporate elements related to a variety of human differences; explore the differences among various groups and forms of human expression in our society; and examine the richness and strengths of complex, heterogeneous societies, while confronting the intolerance, inequality and conflict that often accompany diversity. Courses will, in a substantial and rigorous manner, analyze topics and issues related to these aspects of diversity throughout the course. Outcome: Students will be able to articulate the contributions and challenges of diverse peoples. They will demonstrate an understanding of critical issues pertaining to diversity and will be able to recognize and scrutinize the way institutional power structures influence such phenomena as marginalization and oppression as well as social and economic integration. c ART 163 Crafts as an Art Form
