A three-year project to revise introductory-level U.S. history courses and create new Mexican American and African American history courses. 

This NEH-funded project will facilitate the development of thematic “tracks” within the college’s highest-enrollment US History survey courses, then adapt these tracks to build-out several new history and humanities courses, including newly approved courses in Mexican-American History and African-American History. Within this track model, students will have the opportunity to choose from among three dedicated subfields of study through which to examine the wider subject matter covered in the state-mandated survey courses.
