HIST 3AH
World History from Prehistory to 750 CE - HONORS
Course Description
Starting from the late prehistoric times and covering to 750 Common Era (CE), students will explore the world's history of ancient peoples, cultures, and civilizations. This course provides an interdisciplinary, multi-perspective view of world history, using a thematic approach and offering a balanced, representative and inclusive sampling of the world's cultures from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Because this is an honors program course, students will be expected to complete extra assignments, or an additional longer assignment, to gain deeper insight into world history between prehistory and 750 CE.
