Liberal Studies

IDS 3184 – Ethics in Science and IndustryCredit 3
Prerequisite: Admission to the Liberal Studies program
This course investigates ethical issues in the fields of science and industry. These include issues involved in collecting, disseminating, and using data; issues relating to engineering, computer science, and medicine; and issues involved in debates over animal rights, pollution, and population.

IDS 4905 – Directed Study in Liberal StudiesCredit 1–3
Prerequisite: Admission to the Liberal Studies program
Students negotiate the content and format of Directed Study on an individual basis. The program of reading, assignments and method of evaluation will be dependent on the subject under study. Supervision is also on an individual basis and so there will be no regularly scheduled classes, although the student is expected to make and maintain regular meetings with the faculty director. Students wishing to take an independent directed study must fill out the Directed Studies Application Form and have it completed by the faculty member most relevant to the nature of the topic. The course can be taken for variable credit and more than once, but not more than twice and for no more than 5 credit hours total. The faculty director will work with the student to select a reading list, projects, and evaluations appropriate to the topic and the credit level chosen.

IDS 4950 – Liberal Studies Senior ThesisCredit 3
Prerequisite: Senior standing in the Liberal Studies program
This seminar, the culmination of formal undergraduate work in Liberal Studies, allows each student to select an interdisciplinary topic for advanced research–that is, a topic that relates two of the component areas the student has included in his or her curriculum. The seminar provides a setting in which the student may share his or her work with faculty members and other students. More than other courses, this course challenges each student to examine the intersections between different disciplines, to produce serious intellectual work, and to present that work so that it is comprehensible to scholars from all academic disciplines.
