Course Description A survey of history from earliest times to 1648.
Emphasis is placed on the emergence of values and institutions which shaped the major world empires.
The historical development of political, cultural and religious institutions in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East is stressed. This is a general education course. It is required for students who wish to graduate from Bethany College. The faculty of the college believes the material in this course is important enough to require all students to take it. However, the instructor understands that not everyone in class is interested in history.
