HIST 2020 - United States History II – Honors •

3 sem hrs cr

This course traces in depth the political, economic, diplomatic, and social development of the United States from the Reconstruction period to the present. Attention is given to contemporary problems and the place of the United States as a world power. Individual work and analytical thinking are emphasized. Extensive study of historical figures replaces the more general topical coverage of HIST 2020. The figures chosen represent diversity in gender, race, ethnic background, and political views. The class selects the people to be studied at the beginning of each semester. Class discussion and debate is an integral part of this Honors class experience. Prerequisite: Recommended HIST 2010.
