World Civilizations: 16th Century-Modern

Students will develop a broad understanding of world civilizations that have contributed to our sense of world history. Students will explore the development and interactions of various societies over time by examining world historical processes and using a range of disciplinary approaches (i.e. history, philosophy, sociology, art history, etc.). In this course students will discover how this complex tapestry of narratives has culminated in our modern understanding of the world as a "global village."
