Making of the Modern World

Welcome to the Making of the Modern World (MMW) homepage!  MMW is an inter-disciplinary General Education program at Eleanor Roosevelt College (ERC), one of seven undergraduate colleges at the University of California San Diego. MMW is grounded in world history and provides university-level instruction in academic research and writing.  Since 1988, when the program and college were founded, MMW has been at the heart of ERC’s general education requirements, serving as an academic manifestation of a fundamental aspect of the college’s mission, namely, “to feature dimensions of international understanding and cultural diversity,” and is required of all ERC students.
