This course is thorough review of the Spanish language focused on the development of students’ communicative abilities and their knowledge of Hispanic cultures. Students will both expand their knowledge of the basic structures of Spanish, with special emphasis on more difficult grammatical and vocabulary aspects, and further improve on oral and written skills. Students will increase their critical thinking skills and listening abilities utilizing movies and written texts. This course combines an extensive use of an online component, class participation and three exams. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have acquired more complex language tools to become proficient in Spanish and its use in various professional contexts. There is no final exam. May not be taken satisfactory/unsatisfactory. No new enrollments permitted after the third class session.

As you know, an understanding of physiology is an invaluable part of any budding physician, scientist, or healthcare provider’s repertoire. Discover classical anatomy and physiology of the human body, and cover topics that include: nervous, muscular, cardiopulmonary, renal, digestive, and immune systems and learn how each effects health and disease. In addition to classroom study, you will be challenged to synthesize this newfound knowledge by participating in interactive activities. If you wish to pursue biomedical and scientific studies in the future, you will utilize the knowledge of the basic physiological processes learned in this program.

Discover how chemistry, one of the oldest scientific disciplines, has made significant contributions within numerous fields such as health care, medicine, pharmaceutical sciences, materials and polymer science, and forensic chemistry. For example, the development of new drugs involves chemical analysis and synthesis of new compounds. Chemistry also plays a vital role in the development and growth of several consumer-based industries such as pigments and paints, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and oil and natural gas. In this program, you will focus on the applications of chemistry in medicine and pharmaceutical sciences. Prerequisite: Background in chemistry and biology.

Pre-college students only. Prerequisite: Background in chemistry and biology.

Musical legacy in 19th-century Europe was, and remains, contentious. This course examines the works of Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), with an emphasis in a genre in which he thrived. We will place the composer in context of his contemporaries, such as Clara Wieck Schumann, Robert Schumann, Joseph Joachim, Franz Liszt, & Richard Wagner. In Summer 2021, we will focus on the chamber music of the prolific composer

This course will examine the science fiction movement of cyberpunk as an aesthetic, narrative, and political reaction to late neoliberalism. We will read and discuss literature, film, and interactive media from this genre to develop an understanding of how cyberpunk texts register, refract, and attempt to reconcile antagonisms central to contemporary life.

For many, the entertainment business is alluring. For all, it's pretty confusing. Demystifying the Entertainment Business is a two-week online course that offers students insight into: behind-the-camera careers in the field (specifically writing, directing, producing, and developing); how to best prepare for those careers; and how to break into the industry once graduation finally comes. Students should be prepared to write and read scripts, offer feedback to their fellow students, shoot and edit videos, and create career goal maps and resumes. (Note: some level of basic shooting and video editing acumen will be necessary, as a short film deliverable will be required for successful course completion.) By the end of the course students will understated the basic mechanics of the entertainment industry and where they might like to fall within it, and they will walk away with a complete short film they've written and directed.
