History
Courses are offered in a full range of
European and American history, from ancient history to modern
America. Our program stresses original historical thinking. You will
learn to analyze primary and secondary sources, to reach your own
conclusions about the readings and to document conclusions with
historical evidence.
A history major has traditionally served as preparation for a career
in college or high school teaching or for a career in law. The major
also provides a good background for further study in business or
journalism or for careers in management, technical writing and
museum and archival administration.
Special Features
All majors complete the two-semester History
Seminar in which students learn to conduct original field research
based on materials available in regional libraries and historical
archives.
