Course Descriptions


Lower Division Courses


Urbanism
A historical introduction to the issues, principles and processes of urban design in western societies. Lectures will trace the evolution of selected cities (from ancient Athens to contemporary Los Angeles) where value-laden design decisions have left clear imprints upon our built environment, urban culture, and everyday lives. Field trips. Satisfies fine arts core requirement.

Ecology: A Human Approach
A course designed for non-majors. Ecological concepts and how they relate to critical contemporary issues: air and water pollution, radiation, energy, world hunger. Includes experiments, demonstrations and field trips.

Basic Macroeconomics
Investment, GDP, interest rates, the budget deficit, inflation, unemployment, banking, monetary and fiscal policies and exchange rates appear frequently in the media, but are often little understood. Macroeconomics studies these aggregates and their interconnections, and looks as well at the influence of the Federal Reserve and the federal government.


Basic Microeconomics
Microeconomics studies the decisions and interaction of consumers and businesses, resulting in an understanding of the process by which prices and quantities are determined in a market setting. Forms of industrial organization such as competition, monopoly and oligopoly are explored. Also studied are the markets for labor and other factors of production.


Introduction to Politics
Introduces students to major approaches to the study of politics. Examines key political concepts such as power, democracy and freedom; types of political actors, such as political parties, interest groups and leaders; and important political institutions. Situates contemporary politics within social structure and history.
