Goals: Students should recognize the central themes that have defined traditions from around the world, and they should be able to examine artistic and cultural trends, intellectual foundations or institutions, both broadly and chronologically (i.e., non-topically).

Requirements

One course (Non-Western) exploring traditions from societies in Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas—excluding those societies identified as Western; one course (Western) exploring traditions identified as Western, from Europe and other regions of the world which claim a heritage in Europe.
