Has anyone taken the ONU Your Way HIS 379 Latin American History and Politics course

[Insert Name]

As anyone taken the HIS 379 course through Olivet Your Way? If so, have you transferred it anywhere, and what did it transfer as?

We've had at least one person report that they had it preplanned at TESU. TESU says they'll bring it in as HIS-333 Modern Latin American History.

How does TESU do their numbering? I’m guessing 100s and 200s are LL and 300s and 400s are UL?


Would that fit in the “history of civilizations” section for AOS of a foreign language (Spanish) degree?

[rachel83az]

Yes, 300 and 400 are UL. I'm not sure if it would work for the History of Civilizations for a Spanish degree. Some of those courses have to actually be taught in the language in question (I.E., something like Mexican History taught in Spanish and Spanish Literature taught in Spanish), IIRC. I only know that it does work as the non-Western history requirement for a History degree. I would ask an advisor to preplan it for a Spanish degree.

NOTE 2: All courses applied toward the foreign language area of study are REQUIRED to be taught in that specific foreign language, not in English translation.

Interesting. Thank you both. It still might be a good deal for an UL course, right?

[rachel83az]

It's still a good deal for any kind of course, yes. Still not sure it would work for a Spanish degree, though.

Essentially, If you're going for specific degrees such as a History degree or a BALS with a Humanities concentration, the course will work fine for the AOS and will hit 3 credits for the upper level requirements. You need to decide on the degree and if it hits the correct 3 credits, you only need a total of 18 UL credits and the Capstone is one of the 6 UL courses you need.

I've heard good things from someone taking it (and good things about all of the ONU courses, including highly engaged professors with excellent feedback on papers).

This course comes in as an UL History course at TESU, and fulfills the Non-Western History requirement there. So kills 2 birds with 1 stone (both fulfills a requirement and is UL).

There is no alt-credit way to fulfill a Foreign Language degree at TESU.

I wasn’t thinking of ONU being an alt credit source, since it is a school.
