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.
