HIST 119 - FILM & AMERICAN HISTORY


Credits: Three
This course explores films for their ability to recreate, reveal, change, or influence U.S. history. Students will view many films in and out of class and learn to analyze them as historical documents. The main focus of learning is on how historians explore, analyze, and make meaning from this area of historical evidence: films. The focus will be on the history of the 20th Century United States.
Note: The accelerated Weekend and Evening College format of this course will be augmented by a faculty-prescribed one-credit independent learning experience.
