Frontiers are borders.
However, frontier can also refer to the border between two countries or to fields of new learning. Many will undoubtedly want to explore the American frontier experience. While we tend to think of the West as the frontier, topics dealing with the Trans-Appalachian country and the Spanish Borderlands should not be overlooked. Frontier experiences in Canada, Russia, Africa, and other countries may be of interest. Students may also choose topics involving frontiers of science, technology, medicine, or thought.
