                  355       European Women: 1700 to the Present (3)

A historical survey that examines how the lives of European women were transformed by the social, economic and cultural conditions occurring between 1700 and the present.

4.  Delete:         On pg 240, under Women Studies

 

                        HIST     354                   European Women: Antiquity to 1700 (3)

                        HIST     355                   European Women: 1700 to the Present (3)

 

 

Impact: 

Will have no resource implications.   

 

Rationale: 

The deletions of History 354 and 355 reflect the wishes of the faculty person who first proposed the courses and wishes to change to a new, more relevant approach to the study of European Women’s history.  The deletion of History 361 is due to the fact that we have no current faculty able to teach the course.
