The Making of the Modern World (MMW) is the general education core program of Eleanor Roosevelt College (ERC). MMW has an interdisciplinary approach that is broadly grounded in world history and provides instruction in research and writing. MMW is a foundational experience for all ERC students, serving as an academic manifestation of a central aspect of ERC’s mission to foster/promote international connection and global understanding. MMW celebrates our global diversity and equips students with a broad understanding of the past and its relationship to the present. 

ERC students entering UC San Diego as first-year students are required to complete the five-course sequence MMW 11 to MMW 15. MMW 12 and MMW 13 (offered in winter and spring quarters, respectively) fulfill the university requirement in English composition by providing intensive instruction in university-level writing. Subject matter for writing instruction is related to course material. Students must have satisfied the Entry Level Writing Requirement (ELWR) before enrolling in MMW 12 and MMW 13.

Transfer students, entering UC San Diego as upper classmen, are required to take one of the transfer upper-division courses, MMW 121 or MMW 121R or MMW 122 or MMW 122R.

MMW courses must be taken for a letter grade to meet the ERC graduation requirement.
