Kim,Hee Sook The Departments of French at Bryn Mawr and Haverford ARTTH251A Fundamentals of Acting Colleges offer a variety of courses and two options Slusar,Catharine for the major. The purpose of the major in French and Francophone Studies is to develop sophisticated critical and analytical skills through the analysis of, among other things, French and Francophone literature, history, art, film, material culture, and/or institutions. Courses in the Language and Literature track serve students with primary interests in French and Francophone literature, film, critical theory and criticism; additional courses in and outside the department serve the Transdisciplinary track. A thorough knowledge of written and spoken French is a common goal for both literary and transdisciplinary options. 100-level courses introduce students to the study of the French language, French and Francophone literatures and cultures, as well as exposing them to critical materials related to textual analysis conceived broadly. Courses at the 200-level treat French and Francophone literature and cultures across the historical spectrum. In addition, two 200-level courses are devoted to advanced language training and one to the study of theory. Advanced (300-level) courses offer detailed study either of individual authors, genres and movements or of particular periods, themes and problems in French and Francophone culture. In both major options, students are admitted to advanced courses after satisfactory completion of two semesters of 200-level courses in French. French and Francophone Studies 197

The Bryn Mawr Department of German offers a fully coordinated program of courses with the Haverford College Department of German. By drawing upon the expertise of the German faculty at both colleges, the Department has established a broadly conceived German Studies program, incorporating a variety of courses and major options. The purpose of the major in German and German Studies is to lay the foundation for a critical understanding of German culture in its contemporary global context and its larger political, social, and intellectual history. To this end we encourage a thorough and comparative study of the German language and culture through its linguistic and literary history, systems of thought, institutions, political configurations, and arts and sciences. The German program aims, by means of various methodological approaches to the study of another language, to foster critical thinking, expository writing skills, understanding of the diversity of culture(s), and the ability to respond creatively to the challenges posed by cultural difference in an increasingly global world. Course offerings are intended to serve both students with particular interests in German literature and literary theory and criticism, and those interested in a German Studies concentration that covers German and German-speaking cultures from multiple perspectives, including those of history, history of ideas, history of art and architecture, history of religion, institutions, linguistics, mass media, philosophy, politics, and urban anthropology. A thorough knowledge of German is a goal for both major concentrations. The objective of our language instruction is to teach students communicative skills that enable them to function effectively in authentic conditions of language use and to speak and write in idiomatic German. A major component of all German courses is the examination of issues that underline the cosmopolitanism as well as the specificity and complexity of contemporary German culture. German majors can and are encouraged to take courses in interdisciplinary areas, such as comparative literature, film, gender and sexuality studies, growth and structure of cities, history, history of art, music, philosophy, and 230 German and German Studies political science, where they read works of criticism in honors.

International Studies is the study of relationships among people and states affected by increasingly permeable borders and facing global issues. International Studies aims to prepare students to be responsible citizens by introducing them to issues of importance in an increasingly interdependent world of global dynamics in politics, economics, ideas, language, and culture. At Bryn Mawr, International Studies combines applied and theoretical approaches by drawing from disciplines in both the Social Sciences and Humanities. This broad conception of International Studies distinguishes our program from many others. It builds from a core of courses from politics, economics, and ethics, a branch of philosophy, and then incorporates electives from specified tracks that reflect areas of strength in faculty research and teaching. It allows students to explore the descriptive and normative aspects of living in a world characterized by the deep interconnections International Studies 279 of a globalized world.

COURSES

LING B101 Introduction to Linguistics An introductory survey of linguistics as a field. This course examines the core areas of linguistic structure (morphology, phonology, syntax, semantics), pragmatics, and language variation in relation to language change. The course provides rudimentary training in the analysis of language data, and focuses on the variety of human language structures and on the question of universal properties of language. Approach: Cross-Cultural Analysis (CC) Units: 1.0 Instructor(s): Overfelt,J. (Fall 2015)

LING B281 Language in Social Context Studies of language in society have moved from the idea that language reflects social position/identity to the idea that language plays an active role in shaping and negotiating social position, identity, and experience. This course will explore the implications of this shift by providing an introduction to the fields of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. We will be particularly concerned with the ways in which language is implicated in the social construction of gender, race, class, and cultural/national identity. The course will develop students’ skills in the ethnographic analysis 306 Mathematics

The music curriculum is designed to deepen students’ understanding of musical form and expression through the development of skill in composition and performance joined with analysis of musical works and their place in various cultures. A major in music provides a foundation for further study leading to a career in music. As a result of having majored in our department (haverford.edu/music), students exhibit proficiency in various skills appropriate to a specific area of the curriculum as listed below. But beyond such competence, we seek to develop their awareness of aesthetics and of their place in the history of musical performance, craft, and scholarship.

Composition/Theory The composition/theory program stresses proficiency in aural, keyboard, and vocal skills, and written harmony and counterpoint. Composition following important historical models and experimentation with contemporary styles are emphasized.

Musicology The musicology program, which emphasizes European, North American, and Asian traditions, considers music in the rich context of its social, religious, and aesthetic surroundings.

PHIL B403 Supervised Work Units: 1.0 Required Introductory Courses for the (Fall 2015, Spring 2016) Major and Minor The introductory courses required for the physics major and minor are PHYS 121 and PHYS 122 (or PHYS 101 and 102) and MATH 101 and MATH 102. Students are encouraged to place out of MATH 101 and 102 if that is appropriate. Although College credit is given for a score of 4 or 5 on the AP tests and for a score of 5 or above on the IB examination, the AP and IB courses are not equivalent to PHYS 121 and PHYS 122 and advanced placement will not, in general, be given. However, students with a particularly strong background in physics are encouraged to take the departmental placement examination either during the summer before entering Bryn Mawr or just prior to, or during, the first week of classes. Then, the department can place students in the appropriate course. Students are not given credit for courses they place out of as a result of taking this placement exam. It is best for a student considering a physics major to complete the introductory requirements in the first year. However, the major sequence is designed so that a student who completes the introductory sequence by the end of the sophomore year can major in physics. Physics 335

It is generally best to choose an advisor whose courses are in at least Faculty one substantive area in which the student intends to focus. Students should write a brief essay (~2 pages) Michael Allen, Professor of Political Science on the on the kinds of questions or problems that they would Harvey Wexler Chair in Political Science and Co- like to pursue in the study of politics. The essay should Director of the International Studies Program be submitted and discussed with the advisor. Based on this discussion, the student and advisor will formulate a Daniel Chomsky, Lecturer course plan for the major. Jeremy Elkins, Associate Professor of Political Science (on leave semester II) All Haverford Political Science courses count toward the Bryn Mawr major (the same is generally true for Marissa Golden, Associate Professor of Political courses at Swarthmore and UPenn). Majors in the Bryn Science on the Joan Coward Chair in Political Mawr department must take at least three of their major Economics courses here, in addition to the 398-399 sequence. We Carol Hager, Chair and Professor of Political Science therefore strongly advise that at least one of your initial and Director of the Center for Social Sciences on courses in Political Science be taken at Bryn Mawr. the Clowes Professorship in Science and Social Policy Course requirements Seung-Youn Oh, Assistant Professor of Political Science The study of politics covers a wide ground, and the Stephen Salkever, Mary Katherine Woodworth Political Science major is designed to give students an Professor Emeritus in Political Science opportunity to focus their study while also attending to Joel Alden Schlosser, Assistant Professor of Political questions, issues, and problems that run through the Science study of politics more generally, and that connect the study of politics to other fields. We have organized the Major Requirements major along the lines of four general themes/categories. They are:
