Aloha DMS, HIST, PSCI and INTLREL/ST Majors,
Here are some courses related to your majors you may want to
consider taking in Term-3, 2013:
HIST 3501 Islam and the Middle East
This course
is only offered once a year. If you have interest in the Middle East and/or
your current job requires you to have knowledge about the politics and
socio-cultural issues in the Middle East, I recommend you register for this
course. It can be used as a DMS elective and will fulfill the Non-Eurasian or
Elective requirement for HIST majors. Dr. Justin Vance will be teaching this
course online.
HIST 3668 Military History of Hawaii
This is a
new course we are offering at HPU. The course will examine Military History of
Hawaii from the time of unification of the Hawaiian Kingdom to present.
Students will meet five Monday evenings in the classroom at Hickam and the have
five field study meetings on Saturdays or Sundays. Field study will include
Battle of Nuuanu at the Pali Lookout, National Cemetary of the Pacific
(Punchbowl), Hawaii Plantation Village and Museum, Iolani Palace, Arizona
Memorial, Battleship Missouri Memorial and Pacific Aviation Museum. It can be
used as a DMS elective and will fulfill the Non-Eurasian or Elective requirement
for HIST majors. The course will be team taught by Dr. Justin Vance and
Professor Brenden Bliss. For more information, check out the Term-3 bulletin
write-up on page 18.
HUM 3900 Research & Writing in
Humanities
This course
is a requirement for INTLST majors and is offered only once a year. DMS majors
can take this course in place of HIST 3900 (online only in Term-1), especially
if you prefer to take a F2F Upper-Division Research & Writing course
instead of online. HIST majors can take HUM 3900 in place of HIST 2900, which
is offered online only. This course will be taught by Jocelyn Cardenas on
Thursdays at Hickam.
INTR 3930 Contemporary Nations: China
Dr. Jim
Corcoran is scheduled to teach this course. For those of you who missed taking
a class with him last term, this course will fulfill requirements for
INTLST/INTLREL majors as well as electives for DMS and PSCI majors. China is a
current hot topic and no one better than Dr. Corcoran to teach this class. He
not only speaks the language but has in depth knowledge of China, having spent
some time in his career there. This course is offered at Hickam on Monday
evenings.
