The objectives of the Department of History are to bring the study of the past to bear on the present; to demonstrate that knowledge and experience are dependent upon particular historical contexts; to expose students to a variety of cultures in historical context; to assist students to develop research and writing skills; to enrich students' appreciation and enjoyment of the richness of human endeavors; and to prepare students for a productive and rewarding professional life following the completion of their studies.
The major and minor in History offer students the opportunity to study the past in connection with the present. Students combine courses focused on specific geographic areas with elective course work from a variety of periods and areas of the world, preparing students for a range of career paths including education, graduate school, law, museum work and business. The history department works closely with the education department to prepare students for teaching history and social studies at the secondary school level.
