History
Major:
Minor:
History critically studies the past and those key values which have shaped society. History also provides students with a sense of perspective and with the ability to make critical judgments. Those with a sharply honed historical consciousness know that often what appears to be a simple solution to a simple problem will not work because unexpressed historical forces and traditions lie just beneath the surface. Therefore, historical consciousness helps to make the world comprehensible. To be ignorant of history is to be, in a very fundamental way, intellectually defenseless, unable to understand the workings of this or other societies. Thus all totalitarian societies have stringently controlled the study and writing of history. They recognize that a free mind needs to know its past, to debate and discuss how the world came to be as it is, in order to know what to defend and what to change and how to resist imposed ideologies.
Students majoring in history are offered a flexible curriculum that allows them to have a double major or one or more minors. Students are also strongly encouraged to develop interdisciplinary areas of concentration to meet their interests and vocational goals. Examples of areas of concentration are:
- Pre-law
- Business
- International Affairs
- Historical Administration
- Preservation
- Archival Management
History majors should consult the department chairperson for a departmental advising brochure and further details. History majors pursue professions in numerous fields including:
- Education
- Law and Government
- International Affairs
- Archives and Museums
- Communications
- Business
Students in B.A. programs can acquire teacher licensure through the E11A program (See EDT). For details, consult the department chairperson.
A history minor consists of eighteen semester hours.
