| (3 cr.) This interdisciplinary seminar for first-semester
freshmen focuses on the broad theme of community
by welcoming students to the University learning
community and challenging them to locate
themselves as individuals who can reflect
critically and act diligently in fulfillment of
their civic and intellectual responsibilities as
engaged members of the University community. While
integrating academic perspectives on the course
theme from a variety of disciplines, this course
explores questions of identity, ethics and
citizenship through consideration of an
individual's place, rights and responsibilities
within a diverse and pluralistic community.
Students consider perennial questions of human
nature, the formation of individual identity and
common inheritances, of how communities are formed
and sustained. QU 101 also lays the groundwork for
considering how students can extend their roles
and responsibilities as members of the Quinnipiac
University community to the national and global
perspectives they will consider in QU 201 and QU
301.
