College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Geography and Global Societies
Minor
Geography and Global Societies at Butler starts by studying Indianapolis, then moves outward to Indiana, the United States, and the world. Cultural geography brings together history, culture, and spatial patterning, and reinforces the message of both history and anthropology in a common department. These courses are generally valuable, but particularly so for students preparing to teach social studies in secondary school.
Sample courses in this program include:
- HST215, Themes in World History
- HST345, History of the American Midwest
- HST346, Historical Geography of the United States
- HST353, The American Empire
- HST305, Topics in History, with advisor approval
- HST413, Independent Study, with advisor approval
