Through the lenses of power, resistance, and identity, this course provides an introduction to American social movements from the 1950s to the present. Drawing from history, sociology, and politics, it examines a range of social movements, including: civil rights and Black Power, second and third wave feminism, gay and lesbian liberation and LGBT movements, and Right-wing mobilization. The course also examines the question of how social activism on both the political Left and Right has changed over the past fifty years.
Liberal Arts Core/CORE Equivalent - satisfies the requirement for Society and Social Sciences.

Backgrounds of American theatre. Important writers, actors, directors, producers, and educators in the theatre and changes in dramatic forms and production from their beginnings in American colonial life to the present.

An introduction to Analog Electronic theory including solid-state devices. Ohm’s Law & related measurement techniques will be explored. Students must enroll in a Lab section to apply hands-on experience in basic circuit design & measurement.

Hands-on lab accompanying Analog Electronics. Lab sessions will contain hands-on experience with analog audio circuitry. The course culminates with a student developed final project.

The physical aspects of sound, analog recording technology & studio production techniques are explained & demonstrated. Lecture topics include microphones, stereo recording, analog consoles, multi-track tape recording, equalization, compression, reverberation & mixing. Studio lab assignments are performed outside of class reinforcing weekly lecture topics

This lecture and laboratory course presents an in-depth examination of the therapeutic value of purposeful activity/occupation, with emphasis on activity analysis, synthesis, and gradation. The role of the teaching and learning process and its relevance to designing effective intervention is examined.

Employing a biopsychosocial model, various aspects of work and productive activities will be explored. Includes psychosocial issues, epidemiology, job analysis, an introduction to ergonomics, work hardening, and social legal issues relative to the world of work.

Integration of facts and principles derived from the fields of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics with implications for normal, physical activity, conditioning, and therapeutic exercise; research approach.

Analysis of abnormal motion and the procedures employed in its modification.

Not Available.

This course is designed to help students develop a working knowledge of the structures (anatomy) and functions (physiology) of the speech and swallow mechanisms across the life span that disrupt communication and swallowing. Students examine and discuss the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, subsystems for speech (respiration, phonation, articulation, resonance), and deglutition. A detailed study of typical structure and function is requisite for the identification of speech and swallowing disorders.

Introduction to the basic mechanical principles affecting the anatomical structure of the human body, including body alignment, placement, and dynamic posture, with laboratory applications for many movement practices. Students explore the musculoskeletal system through discussion and observation and embodiment of functional anatomy explorations. Students research and discuss common injuries and tools for self-care and injury prevention.

Using a medical model perspective, this course is designed to help students develop a working knowledge of the structures (anatomy) & functions (physiology) of the speech, swallow, & hearing mechanisms across the lifespan that disrupt communication & swallowing. Anatomy & physiology of the nervous system, subsystems for speech (respiration, phonation, articulation, resonance), hearing, & deglutition are discussed. A detailed study of normal structure and function is requisite for the identification of speech & swallowing disorders.

The Scholars Seminar is the centerpiece of the AnBryce Program during the four year program. The yearlong seminar is organized to showcase the values and goals of the AnBryce Foundation. Grading is pass/fail. Scholars are expected to complete assignments and actively participate in all aspects of the Scholars Program.

In this course, students examine dance as a social and cultural phenomenon through an anthropological lens and consider issues of race, gender, class, language, and social justice. Students explore cultures through comparative analysis and experiential learning through movement; are introduced to popular dance anthropologists; and study anthropological methods, such as fieldwork and ethnography, and their practical applications. By the end of the course, students are able to use culture to inform their own dance movement.

In-depth knowledge of human anatomy and the principles of regulation of function of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems and their relationship to the muscular system. Anatomical models and specimens will complement didactic classroom activities.

In-depth knowledge of human anatomy and the principles of regulation of function of the reproduction, renal, integumentary and endocrine systems. Anatomical models and specimens will complement didactic classroom activities.

Introduction to the variety of assistive technologies to students. Technologies covered include seating & wheeled mobility, environmental control, augmentative communication, computer access, & assistive technology for learning. Associated legislation & learning techniques will be discussed.

In depth-knowledge of human anatomy and the principles of regulation of function of the muscular and skeletal systems. Anatomical models and specimens complement didactic classroom activities.

In-depth knowledge of human anatomy and the principles of regulation of function of the cardiac, circulatory and pulmonary systems. Anatomical models and specimens will complement didactic classroom activities.
