Fredonia Foundations and History

Contrary to popular perceptions, history is not about rote memorization, multiple-choice tests, or endless lectures. Rather, history is an inquiry into human experience. Historians ask questions, locate sources, identify, analyze, and interpret evidence, draw conclusions, and communicate to make the past accessible for diverse audiences. History is essential for active citizenship.  

In this spirit, we have created exciting new courses for Fredonia Foundations! Our classes will enable students to engage in a range of historical topics and issues that will foster creativity, critical thinking, and a broad global and diverse perspective of the human past.
