Spring Semester

I’ve picked my classes for the spring semester:
HIST 1031 – “United States to 1877″ – 3 Credits
This first-year course is a survey of American economic, political, and social history from pre-European contact through the aftermath of the Civil War. Topics include Colonial America and the Revolution, the creation of an American national identity, and the Civil War and Reconstruction. Students will focus on the contributions of men and women from different ethnic and racial backgrounds.
PHIL 1031 – “Ethics” – 3 Credits
This course will examine questions of what is morally right and wrong. Theoretical questions such as “what makes an action morally right or wrong?”, “what type of moral character should a person have?” and “are there correct answers to moral questions?” will be studied. Included in the course will be the study of ethical theory and the application of ethical theory to modern moral problems.
