Recommended: Compare and contrast two universities

I, Tiffany Valdez, am trying to substitute the course, The Shaping of the Modern World (Hist. 3005) because I feel it is awfully familiar to the course I took at my previous school, SUNY Cortland. I will provide the syllabus for the class, Western Civilization since 1500. I have taken four history courses in total. Although I find history very fascinating I do not think I need another class about it especially if it is going to be about something I have already learned. I have spoken with an associate professor of the History department and she confirmed that there is some overlap.

I am a senior and my major is Business Administration, specifically E-Business. This semester, I am taking six classes. I would like to be able to get credit
