Description
IC260 The Twentieth Century* 3 credits
Examines the twentieth century, an era that has been characterized by change. This includes
change in political boundaries, technological capability, response to religion, philosophy and
the arts, and change in how people think. The course examines some of the major events of
the century from different perspectives, in order to try to gain understanding of the period
and its change. The goals of the course include: a fundamental understanding of the major
events that shaped the century; a sense of the sources of contemporary problems; exposure
to artistic and cultural developments and their historical context; the development of a
chronological sense of the century; and an extension of the world view beyond ethnocentric
limitations. Prerequisites: completion of IC101, IC105, IC106, or permission of Core Curriculum
