SMS 015 - American Culture and Civilization

Lower Division

A survey course delivered through the Anthropology Department provides the student with the tools to interpret and evaluate culture from a social science perspective. The approach is a cross-cultural comparative model using American values, life-styles and traditions within a framework of the day-to-day workings of American culture. Course work is composed of lectures, readings, discussions and fieldwork projects. The course is required of all international students and must be taken during the first semester of attendance. In certain cases, permission for exemption may be granted upon evaluation by the Faculty Committee and Registrar.
