Liberal Arts with an option in History

This program is designed to introduce students to the changes in human society over time, to expose students to the diversity of the human experience, to chronologically examine the global struggle of all people, and to assist students to scientifically evaluate their own heritage. Written composition, oral presentation, problem solving, and critical thinking are essential skills used in historical study. The history curriculum prepares students for study in a variety of fields including education, public service, and political science. Moreover, the study of history prepares students for careers in law, journalism, business, public relations, international relations, archives, museums and historical societies. Majoring in history provides an excellent bridge to any career requiring an in-depth study of the human condition. Students planning to teach History on the Elementary or Secondary level, should include the following as open Electives; EDU-112 History Foundations and PSY-250 Educational Psychology.
