In addition, students will complete a 3000-3500 word piece of coursework on the United States after the declaration of independence, through the Civil War and finally reconstruction to examine the extent to which the country developed in the way its original founders intended. The coursework will combined knowledge and understanding with analysis of a range of sources which students find for themselves through extensive research and intended to foster independence, self-reliance and resilience in their approach to their studies, providing an excellent grounding for any academic undergraduate course.
