Course Descriptions


Course descriptions are listed in alphabetical order.

Standard information for each course includes the number, title, and credits (sometimes called credit hours or semester hours). For some courses, you will find information on the hours of class, laboratory, or studio for which the course is scheduled in each week of a regular semester; these weekly hours are expanded during summer sessions. Fees for courses are assessed on the basis of credits and other factors.

The course-numbering system generally suggests levels of difficulty and appropriateness. Courses at the 100 and 200 levels comprise introductory offerings and those are most commonly taken by freshmen and sophomores. Courses at the 300 and 400 levels are primarily for juniors and seniors. In some Purdue programs, undergraduates take courses at the 500 level, but generally courses numbered 500 and above are for graduate students.

Preparation for courses is indicated as follows:

P: indicates a prerequisite that must precede your enrollment in the course described. You may find one or more specific course numbers, the number of credits you should already have in a subject, a placement-test level, or other conditions.

C: indicates a corequisite that must be taken no later than the same semester in which you take the course described.

R: indicates a recommendation concerning conditions to be met for enrollment in the course.

When no subject code is shown for prerequisites, corequisites, and recommended courses, they are in the same subject area as the course being described. If you lack a prerequisite or corequisite, or if you wish to take a course numbered at a higher level than your present status, you should seek the department’s or instructor’s consent to enroll in the course.

V.T. means Variable Title and is shown for courses for which the title may be changed to specify the topic or other special focus of each offering.

Purdue University Fort Wayne reserves the right to add, withdraw, or change courses without notice.

  • HIST 30502 - The Cold War


    The Cold War is an upper division course that will examine one of the most critical eras in modern history. A time period that spanned roughly from 1945 to 1989, the Cold War was hailed as an epic battle between communism and capitalism. In reality, the Cold War was a more complex struggle over a broad range of issues - ideological, cultural, economic, and strategic. As each side tried to protect its own national interests and way of life, a cycle of distrust and animosity quickly formed that would shape U.S-Soviet relations for the next four decades. Some of the questions we will be examining: Why was there a Cold War? To what extent was it inevitable? How did the Cold War become “hot” (Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, for example)? Who “won” the Cold War? What were the consequences of the Cold War?

  • HIST 31402 - Europe From The New World To Napoleon


    This course provides an overview of European history from approximately 1600 through 1820, a time of considerable economic, social, and intellectual change. During this period, Europe moved from what historians now consider the “early modern era,” or the “Old Regime,” to the modern era. This process came about thanks to the economic boon Europe gained from its colonies in the New World, paired with the emergence of new theories of science and politics. The course looks at the period through the various lenses of society, economics, and culture, moving through the colonization of new lands, the intellectual movement known as the Enlightenment, the French Revolution and Napoleon, and the “Restoration” of Europe in the decade following.
