Course Overview

Investigating history requires students to search out, critically analyze, and lucidly present information in order to make sense of complex situations. These are the skills that decision-making in government, law, business, journalism, and other fields requires.

The major is designed to provide students with a nuanced understanding of the past in a wide variety of geographical and chronological settings and to equip them with the tools and skills necessary to become effective critical thinkers, researchers and writers. History majors interested in a career in teaching may also be admitted to QUEST, the five-year accelerated preparation program for teaching certification.
