Nomadic Courses
Learn the history of the world, one course at a time
Follow the Nomadic Professor to history’s actual settings–from the Appalachians to the Andes and from the swamps of Louisiana to the Gobi, Sahara, and Changtang. Engage with the settings and contexts behind today’s headlines. Learn to read and think with the critical judgement of a historian, and prepare to ace your college credit exams.
