    Description
    002. Note: This course is eligible to be offered in any DE modality. This course is a historical survey of Western Civilization from its origins (ca. 8000 B.C.E) that progresses both chronologically and geographically, starting in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and adjacent areas to the Mediterranean Sea. The course then examines the developments of Medieval Civilizations in the Middle East and Western Europe. Finally, the course examines Early Modern European societies and their interactions with the Americas, concluding in 1660 C.E. Moreover, throughout the course, connections are made between Western and Non-Western civilizations (i.e. Chinese, Indian, and Mongolian) to show cultural continuity in the history of the World.
