FYS 1180 - Understanding China

Credits: 4
China has become a major player on the world stage, and its importance is only likely to increase in the future. Yet despite the periodic coverage it gets in the media, China often remains poorly understood. The purpose of this course is to provide students with a broad introduction to China so that they can better understand its impact on the world. Students will examine its history, culture, and politics, as well as contemporary social issues. While the course is aimed at students with a general interest in China, it is also intended to provide a foundation for those interested in taking additional courses on the subject in the future.
