The courses listed under this heading are, for the most part, tutorials for students with known deficiencies in their
general Armenian knowledge. No credit is given for courses designated as tutorials. Students taking such courses
should adjust their study loads accordingly, especially those with serious language deficiency. As a rule, a language
course requires more of a student's time and effort than some other course.
GS 101 Western Armenian (Tutorial)
May be repeated as often as necessary, at various levels, until a learner is able to converse comfortably-if not
fluently.
GS 103 Survey of Modern Armenian Literature (Tutorial)
A directed-reading course either in Armenian or in English, depending on the student's command of languages, with
weekly assignments and a final exam. The course surveys Armenian literature in both Eastern and Western
dialects.
GS 110 Survey of Armenian History (Tutorial)
A directed-reading course with weekly assignments and a final exam. The course surveys Armenian history from
earliest times to the present, emphasizing decisive events and important epochs.
GS 120 Voice and Diction (Tutorial)
For M.Div. students who need it, the course acquaints them with basic music theory, sight-reading, and voice
production.
GS 410 Research Methodology
The course introduces students to a variety of tools and methods of research in the humanities, especially in
literary/historical analyses of religious texts. Highly recommended for students contemplating writing a thesis
(required of students in the MA program). Offered Spring Semesters, even years (an alternate course in methods
of research in the social sciences may be offered when petitioned for by two or more students adequately informed
in the social or behavioral sciences).
GS 451 MA Thesis
Under the direction of a faculty adviser, students complete a well researched study of no less than 50 pages in
their area of concentration (4 semester credits). Prerequisite: GS 410 Research Methodology.
