Online California History Course
History 40 examines the forces, events, and lives that shaped California, beginning with native cultures and Spanish exploration and colonization. The course will focus on the roles and interactions of Native Americans, Latino Americans, European Americans, and Asian Americans within the broader context of California's political, economic, cultural, and social history.
Every week will focus on an aspect of California history in chronological order. Weekly attendance is very important and students will be dropped if they miss two or more consecutive weeks (without contacting the instructor) or more than six weeks in a semester. The course only meets online with the college program Canvas.
