教育目標

History of Western Civilization examines the “western tradition”—those unique patterns of thought and systems of values that constitute the Western heritage. This course will focus on key ideas and the broad themes found throughout the history and development of Western civilization while also providing key details of the most important economic, political, and social movements that occurred. The subject is divided into two courses over two semesters. The first (offered in the fall semester) covers Western Civilization from prehistory to the Middle Ages while the second (offered in the spring semester) covers Western Civilization from the Renaissance to the present day.
