The following classes meet on Tuesday, from Sept. 8 through Dec. 22.

“Western Civilization Since 1500” (HIS 114) an examination of the political, social, and cultural history of Western civilization from the Renaissance to the present, emphasizes the causes and consequences of the West's rise to worldwide influence and the roots of current global issues.

“Introduction to Composition” (ENG 101) an introduction to college-level composition includes essay assignments such as description, narration, and exposition, with an emphasis on exposition.
