What is required?

All Carthage students must successfully complete two Western Heritage seminar courses, Western Heritage I and Western Heritage II. These courses are typically taken during the fall and spring semesters of a student’s freshman year.

The year-long seminar sequence uses a chronological approach and is taught collaboratively by faculty from academic departments across disciplines. Students must successfully complete the first Western Heritage seminar before advancing to the second seminar.

Conditions:

Because of the seminar nature of Western Heritage, no student (day, evening, or Adult Education) may take the course as an independent study. Consistent attendance and participation are required of all students in Western Heritage. Students who fail the first Western Heritage seminar may not advance to the second seminar in the sequence.
