History 1302 is a general survey of United States history from 1877 to the present. It satisfies one-half the legislative requirement of six semester hours in American History.

** Blended sections of History 1302 are held on-campus and online.

The term blended designates a course format that is part face-to-face in the traditional classroom and part online in the virtual classroom. There will be eight (8) face-to-face class sessions on-campus, see the appropriate calendar link below. All other course work, to include discussion board focus groups, assignment submissions, quizzes and exams, will be completed online Blackboard Vista (BbV) Learning Management System Tools.

HIST 1302 surveys United States History from 1877 to the present. The intent of this course is to engage students in the process of historical analysis—to train you to think like an historian. Each of you will be challenged to think about history in new and different ways. Read the Online standard HIST 1302 department course syllabus.

The course may apply toward San Antonio College Associate in Arts (AA) degree in International Studies . You may also apply course credit toward completing a 12-hour international concentration for an International Studies Local Certificate.
