    Description
    To understand where we came from, it is important to study the histories of the great civilizations of the ancient world, from prehistory to the start of globalization in 1500 C.E. Students will explore the political, military, economic, social, and cultural evolution of the early civilizations of Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Students will also investigate the impact of religion, technology, migration, trade, and war on the relationships between the major civilizations of the ancient world. Credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only for the first course completed with a grade of "C" or better or “P.".
