To History
Course Descriptions
The study of
history examines how men and women throughout the world have lived in the
past. When students pay special attention to continuities and changes in
human communities over time and to interactions among people from
different cultures they are able to understand their own life experiences
as part of an historical process. History students learn to read
critically, manage and analyze information, build logical arguments, and
write persuasively.
Students can
major and minor in history through the College of Arts and Sciences or
through the School of Education in the College of Professional Studies.
History majors in the School of Education prepare to teach history in
secondary schools. History majors in the College of Arts and Sciences
typically pursue careers in fields such as law, government, journalism,
business, and information management. Some continue academic study and
obtain graduate degrees so that they can work in museums and archives or
teach at the university level.
