New Course: History/Global Studies 208: The World to 1500
The Greeks and Aztecs were some of the ancient cultures whose practices formed the pillars of so many modern systems we use today. Identifying global constants, while also learning about the contrasts, helps to clarify the larger patterns of the world and make sense of the past.
The new course History/Global Studies 208 gives learners an overview of the world’s various cultures and civilizations that still shape who we are. It looks at the major causes that resulted in change and the features which remain the same.
