Read and learn about the Reformation, the 30 Years’ War, the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment, the emergence of the modern nation-state, expansion to the Americas, the American and French Revolutions, the development of the modern urban-industrial society, nationalism, romanticism, two World Wars, and more! How did we get to where we are today? Come and find out! HIST/HUM 102 will be a hybrid course on the Marinette campus.
THE 211: World Theatre and Performance
with Professor Rebecca Stone Thornberry
THE 211: World Theatre and Performance is an introduction to the performing arts through multiple global perspectives. Key genres and styles emerging from Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe will be studied in depth by examining performance traditions as they transform in relation to changing historical and social conditions.
What Professor Stone Thornberry loves about teaching the class: “The class feels like a trip around the world in which we view cultures through their performance traditions. Every time I teach the course, I learn something new about fascinating places, performances, and theatre artists.”
This course will be hybrid at the Marinette campus.
BUS ADM 202: Business and Its Environment
with Professor Sue Craver
BUS ADM 202: Business and Its Environment examines the major components of the business enterprise and its resources, competitive and regulatory environment, pricing, profit, finance planning, controls, ethics, environmental impact, social responsibility and other important concepts, as well as environmental issues that challenge the business leader.
Professor Craver’s online sections are full at the moment, but she has plenty of space in her M/W in-person class on the Marinette campus.
She says, “It is a required course if students are going into business, but it can also be used as an elective for non-business students. It is an excellent course which offers highlights of many areas of business (marketing, management, human resources, finance, etc.). So if students are unsure of what they want to do for a career—or a major—this would be a good course to add to their schedules so they can explore the business world a bit more.”
