This course is a survey-level introduction to western civilizations, broadly construed so as to really examine the Mediterranean civilizations of the Paleolithic epoch in the ancient Near East and Egypt through to the Roman, Greek, Byzantine, and Medieval periods of history and ending with a study of the Renaissance and Reformation periods in Europe. The course emphasizes the connections and interrelations between these times and regions by viewing the Mediterranean Sea as a region of cultural, social, and economic exchanges through 1650. This course is a satisfier course for the Global Studies Degree Designation.
