Making of the Modern World
Welcome to the Making of the Modern World (MMW)! MMW is the General Education core program of Eleanor Roosevelt College (ERC), one of eight undergraduate colleges at the University of California San Diego. MMW has an interdisciplinary approach that is broadly grounded in world history and provides instruction in research and writing. Since 1988, when the program and college were founded, MMW has been a foundational experience for all ERC students, serving as an academic manifestation of a central aspect of ERC’s mission for international connection and global understanding. MMW promotes our global diversity and equips students with a broad understanding of the past and its relationship to the present.
MMW is required for all ERC students and is taught on campus and abroad in Global Seminars, which have been offered on every inhabited continent. In addition, the program offers MMW Serves and MMW CA Seminar, which combines MMW with spring break or summer service experiences in CA and beyond. MMW can help you find other opportunities on campus and beyond, such as the UC Education Abroad programs, which have summer, semester, and year-long programs abroad in more than 40 countries.
MMW Courses
MMW is a five-course, lower-division sequence (MMW-011 to MMW-015) for students entering as freshmen.
Transfer students are required to take one upper-division course, MMW-121 or MMW-122.
