COR 3520 The American Dream

(formerly COR 352)

An exploration of the American Dream of a better, richer and happier life for all its citizens of every rank. This dream or hope has been presented from the beginning. Ever since America became an independent nation, each generation has seen an uprising of ordinary Americans to save that dream from the forces that appeared to be overwhelming it. This course will study the American Dream, which is perhaps the greatest contribution America has made to the thought and welfare of the world, as an ideal, and analyze the challenges faced in trying to make this dream a reality. Core courses are not open to Freshmen or Sophomores, except for associate degree candidates.
