It isn't a required class anymore.  A student can choose from a variety of classes that are covered under "History of Cultures and Societies".

It is certainly not taught in the Varsity, a la Fr. O'Donnell.

Donnelly? Solid educator, very fine person.

Required? I didn't have to take it. Wish I had. Took American History with mostly older kids, got a B. All A's otherwise, so first semester fell to a 3.8. Western Civ & it would have been a sleepwalk to a 4.0. Ugh

Yep, sorry, my bad.

I was a transfer student and didn't have to take it.

I was not a transfer student and didn't have to take it.  '93 grad.

In my era (class of '90), i believe if you were an Arts & Sciences grad you did have to take it.  Many of the other colleges had students take it by default, but could have substituted out another class instead.

After taking I first semester in the Varsity Theatre, I skipped a semester and took II in the classroom first semester of my sophomore year.

I had to take it in 2006 but took it during FFP. Can't remember the teacher but she was an old woman. Think her name started with a H???

FFP was the best. Thanks a lot, Pilarz

I was BusAd so you are probably right.

Nothing quite like Dr. Hachey in the ol' Varsity, he talked and looked a bit, like JFK.
Still recall hearing him use the term zeitgeist which baffled me at the time; it fit those years.

Class of '91.  I did not take.  Was not required for Engineering students.

I am sure you can. They have online classes now.  Not saying they won't charge you.

Naylor was my TA in '78.

[sodakmu87]

Class of '87;  yeah I'm a geezer now.  Dr Julius Ruff and Dr Alan Ball.  Two great history profs.  They would be worth seeing again after all these yrs.

Naylor taught it in 80-81, when I was a frosh.  Loved when he handed out the evaluation forms, then sat down at the piano and played for us while we filled them out.  Awesome teacher.

When MU made the NIT finals in 1995 the game was on a Thursday night.  We had tests scheduled for Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday he told us about his time at MU in 1977 and marching to the lake and hoped we could have a similar experience......tests postponed until next week. I got to have dinner with him as we were at the same conference about 8 years ago, 20 years after having him as a prof and had a great time.

I had Naylor for North Africa in about 2010.  Great dude.

Walking into Western Civ at the Varsity with a man who could command the stage like Prof. Naylor was definetely a "welcome to college" moment.

All history professor discussions at MU should begin and end with Dr. Zupko.

History minor here.  Never was able to get into his class and that was too bad. 

I ended up in a class with a guy with one arm who read "A Prairie Home Companion" for half the class, and another guy who was arrested a couple years later for stealing items out of the Belgian national archives. 

EDIT:  The first guy was Karel Bicha.  The second was John Rooney, and it was the French archives.

+1. His Crusades class was as good as it gets.

Another classic from that department was Dr. Hay. With his thick Tennessean drawl, the fresh flowers, busts of Andrew Jackson

Loved Dr. Hay!  Slept through most of Western Civ II with Naylor.  His style never clicked with me. I did manage to stay awake for WC I (also with Naylor).

Concur about Dr. Hay.
Will never forget the origin of the phrase "straight from the horse's mouth" after his class.
