DMS, HIST, PSCI, INTLREL/ST


Aloha DMS, HIST, PSCI and INTLREL/ST Majors,

Here are some courses related to your majors you may want to consider taking in Term-2:
ARTH 2820 Images of the Military in Visual Art and Culture
This course examines selected images of military representations as fine arts from classical to modern times in global contexts. It aims to reconsider how these images are being constructed in mainly four regions: Near East, Europe, Asia and North America.  This course satisfies World C requirement as well as the Art Theme requirement.  It will be offered at Hickam on Thursday evenings.

CHIN 1100 Beginning Mandarin
If you have not completed your language requirement, consider taking CHIN 1100. China plays a significant role in the world – economically, socially and politically. Thus, it will be advantageous to learn Mandarin especially for BAINTLST majors with Asian Concentration (besides China, Mandarin is spoken in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia). CHIN 1100 will be offered at Hickam on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Note: Language courses end at 8pm instead of 9:40pm and are (4) semester hours instead of (3). 
ECON 3300 Money and Banking
For INTLREL majors, ECON 3300 can be substituted for one of the upper-division ECON requirements (you need two). If you are using VA for tuition, see your advisor to complete a General Petition prior to registering for the course. ECON 3300 will be offered at Hickam on Wednesday evenings. 

HIST 2402 History of Modern China
For HIST majors, most of you will have to complete at least one lower-division American History course. HIST 2402 covers the Civil War and its aftermath, industrialization, external expansion, two world wars, and domestic affairs from 1865 to the present. Dr. Justin Vance will be teaching this course at Hickam on Wednesday evenings.

HIST 3666 U.S. Military History
HIST 4961 History of Military Thought
Dr. Brian Price will be teaching both these courses – HIST 3666 at K-Bay on Wednesdays and HIST 4961 at Hickam on Thursdays. Dr. Price received his Ph.D. from the University of North Texas in History, where he worked on European and American military history. For the last two years, he worked with the US Army’s Human Terrain System in Afghanistan, where as a combat advisor, he conducted field research with combat patrols and provided socio-cultural, political and security analysis for NATO and American forces in Kapisa and Ghazni provinces.

INTR 1000 The International System
How should we think about this new world that is marked by the integration of globalization and the division of terrorism and genocide? This course will present major works by well-known thinkers on both previous global systems and new views of the present and future international systems. This course is a good Global C option so you only have to take (1) Natural Science course.  INTR 1000 will be offered at Tripler on Tuesday evenings.

We are also offering several Upper-Division Electives this term:
                HIST 3302 History of Modern China (Hickam-Fridays)
                INTR 3400 International Relations of Asia (Hickam-Tuesdays)    
INTR 3900 Contemporary Nations: Philippines (Hickam-Mondays)

For ROTC students with projected commissioning date of May 2014 and have not completed STSS 2601 War and Civilization, I recommend you take the course in Term-2 online. Also, please make sure you meet with your advisor to plan out the remainder of your classes. 

REGISTRATION IS OPEN - so stop by your HPU base office soon to register early!

Term2 JADM Majors


Aloha JADM Majors,

Here are the JADM courses offered this term:

JADM 2050 Basic Criminology
**Used to be JADM 3050; this course will satisfy the JADM 3050 requirement**

JADM 3070 Justice Management
For those who have been asking why Professor John Little did not teach a course last term, he will be teaching both JADM 2050 and JADM 3070 this term (both offered at Hickam on Mondays and Thursdays respectively). There’s also still time to register for the JADM 3520 Drug Abuse and Justice course he’s teaching in the Interim at Hickam (which will run 17 December through 5 January).

JADM 3300 Criminal Procedures
Judge Randal Lee will be teaching this course. For those of you who have taken his classroom courses, you may want to consider taking JADM 3300 with him. This course will be offered online. It is recommended that you have completed JADM 3500 Criminal Law before enrolling in JADM 3300. 

JADM 3320 Corrections: Process/Programs
Professor Jennifer Merkle is teaching this course and you will find that her personal experiences and the real life situations she has encountered will make this class very interesting and educational. Professor Merkle is an attorney with the Federal Detention Center and as mentioned in her syllabus, she will be: “Introducing the issues faced by corrections professionals on a regular basis. For those not interested in a career in corrections, this course will introduce to you the challenging and often competing goals society sets for correctional facilities and correctional professionals.” This course should help students understand the real-life impact that proposals impacting corrections can have. JADM 3320 will be offered at Hickam on Wednesday evenings.
The following courses will also be offered online:
JADM 1000 Crimes and Criminals
JADM 2000 Laws & Courts in World Cultures
JADM 2060 Civil/Criminal Justice Systems (**Same course as JADM 3060**)
JADM 3530 Juvenile Deviancy and Justice
SOC 3100 Methods of Inquiry


Best wishes and REGISTER EARLY! :)

Term2 General Education Courses


Aloha Hickam Ohana,

We have several GenEd courses that you may want to consider taking in Term-2 (January-March).
ARTH 2820 Images of the Military in Visual Art and Culture
This course examines selected images of military representations as fine arts from Classical to Modern times in global contexts. It aims to reconsider how these images are being constructed in mainly four regions: Near East, Europe, Asia and North America.  A field trip to the Honolulu Museum of Arts is also planned for this course. This course satisfies World A or World C requirement as well as the Art Theme requirement.  It will be offered at Hickam on Thursday evenings.

CHIN 1100 Beginning Mandarin
China plays a significant role in the world’s economy. If you are a business major or planning to pursue a position in a multinational, NGO or government affiliated institution, whose operations are active in China or other Asian nations (Mandarin is also spoken in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia), it will be advantageous to learn Mandarin. Modern Language is a requirement for certain majors but this course can also substitute for Global B requirement – check with your advisor. CHIN 1100 will be offered at Hickam on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Note: language courses end at 8pm instead of 9:40pm and are (4) semester hours instead of (3).  

INTR 1000 The International System
How should we think about this new world that is marked by the integration of globalization and the division of terrorism and genocide? This course will present major works by well-known thinkers on both previous global systems and new views of the present and future international systems. This course is a good Global C option for INTR/INTLST/DMS/PSCI majors or anyone who prefers not to take (2) Natural Science courses.  INTR 1000 will be offered at Tripler on Tuesday evenings.

MUS 1000 Intro to Western Classical Music
MUS 1000 is usually offered online but due to demand from students, we have started to offer the course in the classroom. We received positive reviews for Dr. Beth Uele’s course two terms ago. Students were pleasantly surprised that they would enjoy and learn from this class.  This course is a good option for World C requirement and will meet Art Theme requirements as well.  MUS 1000 will be offered at Hickam on Tuesdays.

If you have any questions about these classes or concerns with your degree plan, please contact your HPU base location as soon as possible.

Best wishes and REGISTER EARLY!
