History Requirement

Recently in Charleston, SC I inquired at the College of Charleston book store about the books used to teach US History to undergrads. I was told that the college did not require a traditional survey course in American History. There were US history courses taught, but they dealt with different eras or aspects of US history. On a web site for the college were listed the requirements for history for the general population, and it seems those majoring in US history. The requirements were 6 credits in any of the following courses. Hist 101 Rise of European Civilization, Hist 103 World History to 1500, JWST 210 Jewish Hist I, Hons 120 Honors Western Civ. Second year courses were; Hist 102 Modern Europe, Hist 104 World Hist since 1500, JWST Jewish Hist II, Hons 130 Honors Western Civ. These were all 3 credit courses. (This might to one way to avoid mentioning the fact that the north won the Civil War. Pardon my opinion).
