EDP, GS, H, SS- This history course examines the social, economic, political, intellectual, and artistic achievements of post-classical, medieval, and early modern world civilizations from about 500 C.E. to about 1750 C.E. Students will obtain a global perspective by studying different cultures, worldviews and social institutions, as well as great systems of thought which laid the foundations of the modern world. The increasingly global interaction of cultures in both enriching and exploitative ways will also be emphasized. Students will critically examine primary source material, such as written texts, artistic productions, and archeological evidence as a complement to information gleaned from secondary sources. Courses in the World Civilizations series, (126, 127, and 128) may be taken independently and in any order.
