The courses in history are semestral and are arranged to meet the needs not only of history majors, but of all students who are interested in history for its value as a liberal discipline. The courses are designed to present either a general survey of some civilizations, or an intensive analysis of more specialized fields in order that the student may acquire a deeper appreciation of the historical process, an understanding of the multicultural character of our global society, a fuller comprehension of the human person in the context of time, and a body of knowledge which will generate perspective on contemporary issues.
100s and 200s: Lower level survey courses. The levels of difficulty are comparable, though the 200 level courses tend to be in areas in which the student may have little or no background. 300s: Upper level specialized and topics courses. Students enrolled in upper level courses are assumed to have the reading, writing, and analytical skills appropriate to junior status (graduation from a community college or 64 credits).
