HIS 304 - Civil War Battlefield Tour

Credit Hour(s): 1 or 3
Students will expand their understanding of the American Civil War during a guided tour of important eastern battlefields. Discussions, lectures, and multimedia presentations during travel and in the evenings will enable students to appreciate the context in which battles took place and allow them to process the information they gather at the sites. Specially selected readings will help students maximize on-site learning. Tests will be administered daily and an analytical paper will be submitted after the tour portion of the course. Students selecting the three credit-hour option will, in addition to completing the tour and attendant coursework, complete a web-based supplemental unit including more extensive readings, tests, and essays. Students who have received prior credit for HIS 305 are not eligible for the three-hour option, although they may take the one-hour option. Students taking HIS 304 for one credit may, in contract, take HIS 305 for full credit. A travel expense fee will be charged. 1 or 3 Credit(s). 80 hours (ten days on tour) Service Hour(s).
