Information about the 历史 Core
The University 历史 Core requirement consists of two courses in history from late medieval times to the present. 学生 must take two halves of a sequence: 历史 Core I, which covers c. 1500–1800; and 历史 Core II, which covers c. 1800年至今.
历史 Core courses examine the complex historical processes that structure the modern world. These courses introduce students to key historical concepts, 方法, 和争议, and examine how the past shapes the present and vice versa. Covering several centuries of time and multiple cultural contexts, all 历史 Core courses trace the political, 社会, 经济, and cultural changes that created the modern world. As part of the Core Curriculum, these courses seek to broaden students’ intellectual horizons by exposing them to new places, 期, 和观点. 穿越历史的核心, students will learn how to (1) use primary sources to interpret the past, and (2) explain change over time using those sources.
Taught by historians who specialize in distinct areas, 时代, 和方法, 历史 Core courses vary in their emphases on different parts of the world. The 历史 Core currently includes courses focused on 亚洲, 大西洋, 欧洲, 拉丁美洲的, 非洲, 以及全球经验. 学生 are not restricted to taking a 历史 I and a 历史 II course in the same subject. 例如, if a student takes 历史 I in “Asia and the World,” the student can follow that with “Modernization II” for their 历史 II requirement. The key is to take one course marked 历史 I and one marked 历史 II.
Advanced Placement and Study Abroad for the Core
学生 who scored a 4 or 5 on the 欧洲 历史 or World 历史 Advanced Placement exams fulfill the 历史 Core and are invited to take a history elective.
学生 who would like to apply foreign study courses for Core credit must get permission from the Director of the Core, and they are strongly urged to do so before going abroad. In order for a course taken abroad to fulfill the 历史 Core requirement, it must cover the time 期 outlined above (c. 1500–1800 for 历史 Core I, and 1800年至今 for 历史 Core II) and examine more than one country, surveying historical developments in a global or world-regional framework. Similar guidelines apply to summer classes and courses transferred from a previous institution. At least one of the Core courses must be taken at 电子游戏软件.
