All students enrolled in the program must take these three required
courses:
Colonial
to Revolutionary America, HI223 (3 cr)
Professor Randall J.
Stephens (PhD in History, University of Florida)
This course is the first quarter of a four-section series surveying the
history of the United States from the pre-Columbian period to the
present. The section is designed to familiarize students with the
basic themes, interpretations, and events of U. S. history to the
Revolutionary War. Major events and themes include: Native American
history, European settlement, Old and New World interactions, the role
of faith and religion in the colonies, race and gender in early
America, the War for U. S. independence, the development of slavery,
and the process of becoming “American.” Heavy emphasis will be
placed on the role of Boston in the colonial and revolutionary period.
Introduction
to Art History, AR 203 (3 cr)
Professor
Marianna Krejci-Papa (Ph.D in Renaissance Studies, Yale University)
A survey of the history of Western Art, with a focus on the visual as a
language for communicating ideas and values. Covers fine arts genres
(drawing, painting, sculpture and architecture) as well as artisanal
products like pottery, utensils, jewelry, furniture, coins and other
metal objects. Will explore technologies for mass producing images,
such as wood cut, engraving, lithographs, print, and explore the impact
of the technologies for reproducing art in the post- Renaissance rise
of the print-based culture which is the foundation for our own society.
Will work chronologically from the art of the Mediterranean world
through major artistic periods through the rise of modernism. Four
world-class art museums will be the classroom. Visits to Boston's
amazingly rich museums--the Museum of
Fine Arts, the Isabella
Stewart Gardner Museum, and Harvard's Art Museum--along
with the architectural and statuary treasures will be woven into the
course.
Literary Boston, EN230 (3cr)
Kate McCann, MA in Poetry and MA in
Divinity
