Prerequisites: None.
Additional Details
This is a good course for first-time Distance Learning students. History of the United States I is not required to be successful in this course.
This is an introductory survey course with no prerequisites. Students are expected to possess a high school knowledge of American history. Like Patrick Henry College’s other freshman-level courses, however, this course is equivalent (in terms of rigor, content, and expectations) to sophomore courses at typical colleges. Students will take three major exams during the semester, each of which consists of multiple-choice questions and an essay question. Students will also read three books and write essays on two of them. Weekly participation on the threaded Discussion Forums is required. There are no scheduled chat sessions or time-specific online class meetings; all instruction is asynchronous.
