The logistical considerations for the course include an interdisciplinary, team-taught course for 1200 students in one semester. Lankton went on to describe the proposed World Cultures course as a traditional type of course at other institutions without anthropology or technology. Bowen's model curriculum table shows two faculty each from Fine Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences to develop and present the lectures in six sections of 225 students. We need the right people to deliver this course to such large sections and we also have the logistics of the 60 discussion group sections that meet once each week. Fine Arts is a very small department and does not currently teach any class of this size however, the theater and music specialists are interested in participating.
Humanities has many courses, literature, philosophy, etc.
Except for the language professors they do not teach freshman or large sections. Some humanities faculty do have an interest in teaching but with reservations on some points like the large lecture size. Social Sciences believes they will be looked at for more than two lecture sections. There are no world historians and one with training in European history. Two courses, Western Civilization and The American Experience have a similar approach but do not look at things globally.
