Courses in the Understanding the Past domain study human life in past societies (primarily pre-1945) as a process of continuity and change over time. Many of the documents that mediate the past to us have considerable aesthetic or intellectual value in and of themselves. However, courses in this Learning Domain will examine texts, art works, and other forms of evidence less for their aesthetic or intellectual value than for their usefulness as tools for reconstructing aspects of the past and building sensible, defensible, and well-informed historical interpretations about the past and about causation in the past. Students generally take two courses in the UP Domain Area, but the courses must come from different geographical area categories. Additional courses will count as elective credit, rather than fulfilling the UP requirement. The six categories are: 1) Africa; 2) Asia; 3) Europe; 4) Intercontinental/Comparative; 5) Latin America; 6) North America.
