HIST 1110 - Western Civilization I


This course is an introductory study of Western Civilization that includes a study of Greek and Roman Civilizations, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance and Reformation. Emphasis is placed on the ways in which those civilizations have influenced and contributed to the world today. The class studies the ways in which human societies share common ethical, moral, and political choices and the consequences of the options each civilization chooses. We will focus on understanding the zeitgeist (spirit of general feeling) of “Western” peoples from Pre-history through the Reformation.
