American Heritage

The Declaration of Independence

Welcome to American Heritage

In the late 1970s, under the explicit direction of the university's Board of Trustees, and the First Presidency, BYU developed American Heritage 100 to help students better understand and appreciate the core principles and social architecture of the American founding. To do so, the course draws heavily from three different disciplines: political science, economics and history.

All questions regarding American Heritage should be addressed to the department office. This includes items such as adding/dropping, incompletes, scheduling, exam issues, assignments, etc. For information regarding the Challenge Exam for American Heritage 100, please check under the menu titled "About American Heritage" or click here.
