MULTICULTURAL REQUIREMENT An important component of a liberal education is the study of cultures other than one's own. As such, multiculturalism encompasses the appreciation of the values, expressions, and modes of organization of diverse cultural communities. To further such study, the University of West Florida requires all students pursuing a bachelor's degree to complete at least one course that explores one or more of the dimensions of another culture (language, religion, socio-economic structures, etc.). Students are exempt from this requirement if they have completed an Associate of Arts degree or the General Education Program at a Florida public institution, or completed a baccalaureate degree. The requirement is satisfied by the successful completion of a multicultural course designated on the following list. Several of the selections are General Studies courses, and students may enroll in these to meet both the General Studies and the multicultural requirements. This list is continually updated and students are encouraged to check with their advisors for alternative options.   AMH 4570 Afro-American Experience AMH 4582 History of the North American Indians AML 3624 Black Women Writers ANT 2000 Introduction to Anthropology ANT 3212 Peoples and Cultures of the World ANT 3312 North American Indians ANT 3363 Japanese Culture ANT 3403 Cultural Ecology ARH 1050 Introduction to Art History ARH 2050 Art History Survey I: Greek to Renaissance Art ARH 2051 Art History Survey II: Baroque to Contemporary Art ARH 4302 Late Renaissance Art in Italy ARH 4305 Early Italian Renaissance Art ARH 4430 Age of Revolution 1760-1880 ARH 4450 Modern Art 1880-1950 ARH 4470 Contemporary Art 1950 - Present ARH 4653 Art and Archaeology of Mesoamerica ARH 4656 Art and Archaeology of the Ancient Andes ARH 4042 Outline of European Architecture COM 4014 Gender and Communication COM 4102 International Business Communication CPO 2002 Comparative Politics CPO 3103 Politics of Western Europe CPO 3513 Politics of the Far East--Japan and China CPO 3773 Great World Leaders CPO 4303 Politics of Spain, Portugal, and Latin America CPO 4531 Politics and Culture of India EDG 2701 Teaching Diverse Populations ENG 4013 Introduction to Literary Theory EUH 1000 Western Perspectives I EUH 1001 Western Perspectives II EUH 3205 Modern Europe EUH 3321 East Central Europe and the Balkans to 1900 EUH 3322 East Central Europe and the Balkans Since 1900 EUH 3411 Rome and the Mediterranean World EUH 3576 Soviet Union Since 1917 EUH 4239 Europe's Expansion Overseas FRE 3450 Advanced Conversation FRE 4955 Supervised Foreign Language Field Experience Abroad GEA 2000 Nations and Regions of the World GEA 4400 Geography of Latin America GEB 2411 Diversity in the Workplace GEB 4361 Business in the International Environment GEO 3421 Cultural Geography GEO 3470 Geography of World Affairs GER 4270 Intensive German Abroad INR 2002 International Politics INR 3006 Conflict, Violence, and Peace JPN 3270 Supervised Foreign Language Experience Abroad LAH 3100 Colonial and Revolutionary Latin America LAH 3200 Latin America Since Independence LAH 4430 Mexico LAH 4470 Cuba and Central America LIT 2112 Introduction to Literature LIT 4906 World Literature MAN 4102 Management of Diversity MAR 4156 Seminar in International Marketing MMC 3601 Minorities and the Mass Media MMC 4300 Global Communication MUH 2930 The Music Experience: Special Topics NUR 4040 Cultural Factors in Health and Illness PHM 4051 Alternative Philosophies REL 3310 Philosophies of the East SLS 1xxx Introduction to Diversity SOW 3620 Practice with Culturally Diverse Populations SPN 3400 Advanced Stylistics SPN 4500 Spanish Civilization SPN 4520 Latin American Culture and Civilization SPN 4955 Intensive Spanish Abroad
