The study of history encourages students to examine the values of their society and those of other societies. It prepares students to read critically, think analytically, and argue logically about the events and forces that have shaped past and present worlds. These skills exhibited in research, writing, and presentations have served students well in a wide range of careers in business, law, public policy and advocacy, education, journalism, historical societies, museums, and archives.
The history faculty’s goal is to help students develop historical thought while preparing for a rapidly shifting job market. Our degree provides students with a technologically adapt education for the 21st century that focuses on skills in demand in the modern liberal arts market. Students will be challenged to blend traditional history and intercultural skills with background skills in communications, digital media, geographic information system (GIS) mapping, public history, computer science, and/or library science. Within the degree, students will be able to choose from a wide variety of courses in the history of the United States, Europe, Global, and a range of topical issues. These combined courses build a knowledge set that allow our students to pursue diverse and rewarding career opportunities.
