MLS 6010: Seminar In The Humanities
The Humanities seminar is intended to demonstrate the interdependent nature of knowledge in humanities and the diversity of approaches to understanding the human condition. Typically, it asks students to examine representative works of literature, history, and philosophy drawn from the ancient world, the European Middle Ages and Renaissance, and the worlds of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. In this seminar, students discuss essential and common issues and explore the traditions and spirit of humanistic inquiry.
MLS 6020: Seminar In The Social Sciences
The Social Sciences seminar is intended to provide the student with an appreciation of the theories and methodologies of social science. Social scientists are primarily interested in understanding the behavior, organization, and functioning of society at a variety of analytical scales. Analytical scales include individual citizens, groups of citizens, and both public and private institutions (e.g. governments and corporations). An understanding of human behavior and societal organization allows us to make responsible and informed decisions regarding both personal and societal problems and issues.

Previous courses in the natural sciences are not essential for the successful completion of this seminar.
