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 College of Education and Human
Sciences. History majors in the College of Education and Human Sciences
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.
