Making of the Modern World
Welcome to the Making of the Modern World (MMW) Website! MMW is a six-quarter, interdisciplinary, general education sequence designed to provide a broad, global overview of the past from the dawn of human history and early societies (MMW 1) to social, environmental, economic, and political challenges facing the contemporary world (MMW 6). MMW is the expression of the official mission of Eleanor Roosevelt College (one of UCSD’s six undergraduate colleges) which is, in part, “to feature dimensions of international understanding and cultural diversity.” It is our belief that, regardless of academic or professional area of specialization, all our graduates should have a basic understanding of the shared and remarkably diverse human experience that comprises our world, both past and present, and MMW provides that understanding. We hope that you will find answers to your questions on this website or feel free to contact the MMW program directly.Sincerely,
Matthew Herbst
MMW Director
