    Description
    The course is designed for Older Adults to examine the Minoan culture and then the concurrent cultures of the Mycenaean Greeks, Neo-Babylonians, Hittites, and the Old Testament Hebrews, focusing on history, visual culture, religion, and literature. These will be studied in order to draw universal observations that will enable Older Adults to understand constructions of family, community, and historical global issues as they relate to their lives. Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online.
