Also, how about graduate level language classes? UNT and other universities offere them, but I know my particular tuition scholarship will only pay for classes where I am earning my degree. So any classes or language learning tools like the Rosetta Stone would be out-of-pocket expenses. This creates a major hurdle that may or may not be adressable and may or may not prevent me from going on the doctoral program.

I would be interested in an HUHI on the history of the construction of the concept of time, not only from a Western perspective, but also from different ancient cultures' point of view.

I agree with a number of the suggestions that have already been made:

* A course on comparative lit of international women authors, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries

* A survey of philosophical trends from antiquity on, including Islamic philosophy, and proceeding to the early modern period

* Almost any HUSL or HUHI course focusing on any type of women's lit or history.

* HUHI 6347 Topics in Feminist Philosophy - Mary Wollstonecraft to Helene Cixous-reading the original texts

* A course on the history of the construction of the concept of time, not only from a Western perspective, but also from different ancient cultures' point of view.

I would also like to add a request for any courses on Japanese literature, history, or philosophy

I think a "France and Francophone Studies" program would be interesting. The program could include a broad range of interdisciplinary topics on French history, language, and culture, especially involving modern and contemporary studies of France and francophone areas around the world. French is one of the ten most spoken languages in the world, and of course, generally known as the most romantic. The French culture and influence stretches wide--cuisine, language, art, fashion--from France, to francophone Africa, Canada, etc., as well as to non-francophone countries.
