A major in History provides a broad perspective on the human past with the view to understanding how persons behave and of what they are capable. The History Department requires that students majoring in History have a breadth of competence in the history of various areas of the world, and that they have an ability to research carefully and communicate clearly, using a variety of methods. Considerable attention is given to the philosophy of history and the various points of view with which scholars have approached the study of the past.
Such a background provides a useful foundation from which to move into a variety of fields, particularly those professions that require an understanding of human activity—the ministry, journalism, law, business, and teaching.
The Department offers two majors—a B.A. Degree with a Major in History and a B.A. Degree with a Major in History Education, with Secondary Teaching Certification in Social Studies, Grades 8-12.
