Lecture Hours: 0 Lab Hours: 0
Scotland’s past is overcrowded with stories of witches, plagues, rebellions, and wars. Yet Scotland has also made huge contributions to both the United States and Western Civilization. Come explore Scotland’s journey from a small, struggling country suffering through wars with England, witch crazes and internal rebellions to its ultimate emergence as a leader in literature, science, technology and the Enlightenment. This course is designed to be taken as either Western Civilization II or US History 1.This course will consist of readings, online lectures, and onsite tours in Scotland. We will spend 12 days in Scotland, preceded and followed by online lectures, a research paper tying in our experiences abroad with a study of Scottish/British history, and a final exam.Therefore, the argument of this course will be that through learning about Scotland, we will gain a stronger understanding of our own nation.
