World War I Series

World War II Series

Many people believe that the 20th century began Jan.1, 1901. Historians will argue that the 20th century actually began June 28, 1914, with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo. This touched off a conflict we now call World War I which forever changed the political, economic and social landscape of Europe and the United States and had a profound impact on the rest of the world. Enroll in all three classes and save.

World War II was history’s most catastrophic military event, claiming more than 55 million lives and forever altering the world’s political and social landscape. This five-part series will examine the causes of the war, the reason for its outcomes and how it has shaped the present time. We will study the personalities who drove the conflict and examine not only the military operations of both the Pacific and European theaters, but also the effects of the war on people and institutions here and abroad.

Refund Policy: If you drop a class, you will receive

a 100 percent refund if the class is dropped one business day before the first meeting. No refund will be given if the class is dropped the day of class or later.

Events which may require more advanced notice to cancel include, but are not limited to, certain business and industry classes, conferences, trips, day trips and other special events. For these exceptions, refer to the LAST DAY TO CANCEL information listed in the course description.

If you have a situation that warrants an override of the above policy, an explanation of the circumstances should be made in writing to the Division of Corporate and Community Development. The appropriate associate dean will review the situation to determine if a refund can be granted and will notify you accordingly. Refunds should be received within 30 days.

Inclement Weather Policy: In the event of

severe weather conditions or other emergencies, the SCC president may cancel classes and close the campus for a partial or full day.

The college will update the SCC website (stchas. edu) and main number 636-922-8000, send a text message through the Emergency Alert System, and contact selected radio and television stations, when the timing of conditions allow, by 5 a.m. for day classes and no later than 4 p.m. for evening classes (if bad weather develops during the day). The college will typically update the college website and main number prior to contacting the selected radio and television stations. It is recommended to use the college’s website or main number in order to receive information in a more timely manner.
