    Description
    To understand and navigate our global community, it is important to study the history of how our interdependent world came into being. Since 1500 C.E., the great civilizations of Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas have rapidly changed, influenced each other, and become more interconnected. Students will explore the political, military, economic, social, and cultural development of each regional civilization. Students will also study the modernizing and globalizing forces of trade, migration, colonization, decolonization, the nation state, the Enlightenment, industrialization, capitalism, urbanization, science, technology, and war. Honors work challenges students to be more analytical and creative through expanded assignments, real-world applications, and enrichment opportunities. 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.”.
