Core Requirements for Historical Consciousness

Historical consciousness encompasses an awareness of the significance of the past as a fundamental component of human understanding. It is built upon a concrete knowledge of the ideas, events, and institutions that have provided the context for all human behavior and have shaped both our past and our present.

Students seeking a baccalaureate degree will satisfy the historical consciousness component of the core through HIST-102/202 World History since 1700 (HIST-102 sections are limited to freshmen).
