SHY 336 - Gilded Age & Progress Era 1877-1920 (History)

3 Credit(s)

During the Gilded Age and Progressive Eras (1877-1920) the United States recovered from the sectional strife of civil war only to face the demands of rapid industrialization and class division. Robber barons, populists, reformers, labor radicals, and street urchins all make appearances in this period. Course approaches the era topically, with short assignments designed to encourage historical thinking and information fluency. Satisfies the U.S. Cultures requirement of the Liberal Arts Curriculum. Prerequisite: SHY 103 or SLA 201. Spring semester, ADP session 3.
