The goal of the Multicultural Study in New Mexico semester is to provide students with a cross cultural learning experience by means of special focus sections of courses from Calvin's Liberal Arts core. A special survey of art, artists, and art criticism.
Special focus is brought to the antecedents and current expressions of Native American art.
This introductory study of the geological structures of the earth makes extensive use of the unique geological features of the Southwest. An introduction to the major periods and themes of frontier and western history, from Indian and Spanish experiences through the frontier era and on to the contemporary West. The emphases will be on a broad sweep of the subject and on the Southwest. With special permission, students may replace one of these courses with an independent study or enrollment at the University of NM-Gallup campus. In addition, a two semester hour Service Project is also available in local organizations.
