HTY 320 - History of Florida

3 credits

This course will explore the history of Florida from its first settlements to its modern development as the "Sunshine State." It will cover the different groups of people who have shaped the history of Florida--Native Americans, Europeans, and African Americans--and how their interactions have contributed to Florida's culture as well as place Florida's past into its larger regional and national context. The course will use historians' essays, explorers' accounts, fiction, autobiographies, public history sites, song lyrics, and the natural landscape to learn about Florida history.
