The history major has recently been re-designed to better suit professional aspirations and interests. The new major ensures that students will learn about the "big picture" through exposure to four historical perspectives, while allowing them to tailor the major to individual needs during the junior and senior years. Students in this program are exposed to the social impact, consequences, and changes of various pivotal historical events. They learn critical and analytical thinking, and effective writing and research methods. Students graduating from this program apply their skills and abilities as curators and archivists or in professions involving research, writing, editing, advocacy, politics, and historical preservation. |
