Clusters

ANALYSES OF IDENTITY, ART, AND CULTURE

F1. Performing Identity in Literature and Visual Art
This cluster explores connections between visual art, performance of literature, and writing studies. Students will develop an appreciation for the ways diverse identities and cultures are represented in the arts and will take advantage of our proximity to NYC - a world capital of fine art and performance. Using the permanent collection from the Hofstra University Museum of Art, students will analyze authentic works of art that explore themes of personal identity. Through oral interpretation of literature, group presentations, performances and discussions, traditional formal analysis, non-traditional writing prompts, and exhibition design, students will examine how written and visual culture, often shaped by politics, religion, sexuality, race, gender, economics, and the rebellious spirit of artists, represents society and influences our perceptions of one another. Field trips to NYC Museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Frick Collection, and the Guggenheim Museum will supplement the curriculum.

Please note: AH 192 satisfies a University graduation requirement in the Humanities category; RHET 9 satisfies a University graduation requirement in the Electives category; WSC 1 (or its equivalent) is required of all students.

F2. Inventing My Future: The First Gen Experience
This cluster is intended for students who are in the first generation of their family to go to college, meaning that neither of their parents or guardians has earned a 4-year degree from an institution in the USA. First-Generation students represent one in every three Hofstra students, and one out of two students nationally. Led by faculty who were either first-generation themselves or who have a history of working to support them, this cluster will allow students to connect with faculty and each other, foster a sense of belonging, and engage their intellectual curiosity. Students will learn and be encouraged to utilize various University resources that can aid in their academic and social success, read texts and articles pertaining to the first-generation student experience, work on projects comparing such circumstances in a historical context, and reflect and write about their own experience and motivations for going to college. Learning in such an environment can help first-generation students better understand “how to college” and form a community of support to draw upon in their time at Hofstra. Additional engagement opportunities will include off campus trips, home-cooked meals by first-generation faculty and staff, peer and/or faculty/staff mentorship, networking opportunities, and academic success and career planning workshops.

F4. Re-Globalization? De-globalization? Political and Economic Change Following Crises
Shocks to economic and political systems have re-shaped globalization. This course will examine the link between political institutions, social structures and the economy. Several political and economic crises have ignited renewed geopolitical tensions. For instance, the 2008 Great Recession, covid pandemic and its economic aftershocks and war in Ukraine and Israel have had profound impacts on the political and economic landscape within and between countries. National security concerns are increasingly a primary focus of economic policy choices that are reshaping national government and economic decisions. Students in this cluster will learn about basic principles of comparative analysis of political and economic institutions and develop a deep appreciation of how political processes play an important role in dictating the rules of the economic game, and in turn how the economic game affects the political process. This cluster is an excellent option for political science and economics majors.

POLITICS, DEMOCRACY, AND RHETORIC

F5: Deliberative Democracy: How To Put the Public in Public Policy?
In a democracy, policymakers must consider the preferences and potential reactions of the public. How do policymakers and voters learn about public problems and policy preferences? Are there better ways than relying on mass media, opinion polls, and debating? Is there a way for citizens to carefully work through policy options and present them to policymakers? This cluster, ideal for any student who wants to participate in a functional democracy, focuses on two things: (A) how to define a public problem, formulate policy alternatives, and develop policy solutions, and (B) how to prepare citizens to discuss public problems, deliberate together about potential solutions, and present their opinions to public officials. Students will examine local problems such as police misconduct, water quality, or housing concerns. In a hands-on project, students will develop a booklet describing a problem, proposed solutions to the problem, and advantages and disadvantages to each.

Please note: PPPS 001 and RHET 108 satisfy requirements in the Public Policy and Public Service and Rhetoric and Public Advocacy majors; PPPS 001 satisfies University graduation requirements in both the Interdisciplinary Studies and Quantitative Reasoning categories; RHET 108 satisfies a University graduation requirement in the electives categories.

F8: Film and Philosophy (Total = 9 s.h.)
This cluster integrates introductory courses in film and philosophy with first-year composition. The film course introduces the basic language of filmic expression and the methodologies of film study, including their influence on television and video. There is an emphasis on the ways of looking at films and television, the major concepts of theory, the various forms of film and television, and the techniques that determine visual styles. In the philosophy course, students consider whether film is a passive mirror of a preexisting reality, or whether we should think of it as possessing the power to actively construct a reality of its own. Can film be morally or socially dangerous? In the composition course, students write in a variety of genres about their work in the other two courses.

WSC 1: Composition (3 s.h.)
F13: Introduction to Computing: Cryptography (Total = 7 s.h.)
Cryptography, the study of making codes, is simultaneously ancient and modern. It is said that Julius Caesar used codes to communicate with his generals in the battlefield so that even if a messenger was waylaid by his enemies, they would not understand what he was trying to communicate. In modern times, some cryptographic techniques ensure that an eavesdropper cannot steal your credit card number; others assure you that an app that you downloaded was actually created by the company stated on the website; and yet others ensure that your electronic medical records are safe from prying eyes. In this cluster, you will learn some interesting ideas in cryptography. But beyond that you will learn the foundations of computing, both applied and theoretical, and a new way of thinking: computational thinking. We help you to build your skill set and the mindset for solving problems efficiently and creatively. In CSC 15, you will participate in hands-on projects in code making and code breaking. In CSC 14, you will explore the mathematical underpinnings of cryptography in the course of laying a strong foundation for understanding fundamental problems in computer science.

Please note: Priority is given to computer science and computer engineering majors, but non-majors are welcome. CSC 14 satisfies a University graduation requirement in either the Computer Science or Mathematics category; CSC 15 satisfies a University graduation requirement in the Computer Science category.

F14: Computer Science: Computing Core (Total = 7 s.h.)
Computing has become as essential as electricity. Computer programs and computing devices are indispensable in our daily lives. They create rich imaginative worlds, make new discoveries in science possible, extend the human abilities. We are truly at the edge of a new frontier where machines will augment humans and where humans will interact naturally with computer systems and machines. In this cluster we examine the foundations in mathematics and computer science on which all computer programs are built. The cluster allows the same group of students to take together the core courses in the Computer Science Department curriculum : “CSC14 Discrete Structures” and “ CSC15 Problem Solving and Programming”. These courses are required for students majoring in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Computer Science and Cybersecurity” and for all students taking a minor in these areas.

F15. Robotics (Total = 7 s.h.)
Robotics is an example of embodied cognition, or an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system with sensors and a moving body. Robots interact with the environment and adapt to changes in real-time. Early robots could only navigate using a fixed map in a static environment. More recently, robots are at the front-front of autonomous car development, with complex sensors that dynamically update the map and the robot's location in it, and cameras that detect objects 'seen' by the robot. Advanced robots are used in dangerous territory such as combat or disaster zones to perform tasks that humans cannot. In this cluster you will learn about sensors and algorithms that robots use for autonomous navigation. You will also implement some basic algorithms on an actual robot.

Please note: Priority is given to computer science and computer engineering majors, but non-majors are welcome. CSC 14 satisfies a University graduation requirement in either the Computer Science or Mathematics category; CSC 15 satisfies a University graduation requirement in the Computer Science category.

F16-17: Pre-Health Sciences
Students seeking to pursue a broad range of healthcare professions (such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary sciences, nursing, nutrition, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physician assistant studies) will need to possess a solid foundation in science, particularly biology and chemistry. After all, organisms are massive collections of biological molecules executing complex combinations of chemical reactions in a highly controlled and regulated manner. The Pre-Health Sciences Clusters explore general chemistry, biological processes from ecosystems to cells, and the interplay between these disciplines in the function of organisms, particularly humans. Throughout the cluster, we consider how various chemical and biological processes are related and influence the human condition. Students may select different combinations of classes within the pre-health sciences clusters, depending on their major interests and academic background. The Health Sciences track in Cluster F17 introduces students to applied health research and epidemiology methods, the importance of teamwork in the health professions, and is ideal for students majoring in Health Science, Exercise Physiology (Pre-Medical Studies concentration), and School of Health Sciences undecided majors.

Please note: The Pre-Health Sciences clusters carry an additional $135 laboratory fee.
