American History II

(5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This module provides a critical understanding of the major themes, controversies, and key moments in the history of the twentieth century in America. It is an introductory survey module and will follow a chronological sequence. This module covers the period from late nineteenth century up to the early part of the twenty-first century: a period that some have argued represents "the American Century." The module will provide students with an overview of the key issues, as well as the opportunity to develop deeper understanding of specific topics, through analysis of primary sources and by engaging with historical debates.
