HIS 190 - Introduction to History

Semester Hours: 3
This course is designed to introduce all students to the exciting world of history. Class participants visit local museums, libraries, or review archives and historical sites virtually or in person, to learn about public history. In the classroom, we learn the practical skills that historians use to study and record history, and we develop critical thinking skills to explore key historical questions. We have fun challenging the simple assumptions that most people make about the study of history, and we learn about the varieties of careers that are available in the field. This course is designed to appeal to History majors and non-majors alike.

Pre-requisites: none.

Offered: occasionally.
