everything people are now is a result of who they have been in the past. when students study history, they gain a deep understanding of the people, places, and events that have helped shape the world people know today.

as a history major, students will explore the entire sweep of the human experience — spanning centuries, continents, and cultures. students will develop a rich historical perspective and a strong set of skills in research, writing, problem-solving, and critical thinking. the program equips students for a variety of careers in business, education, law, communications, and many other fields.
