The History major provides an excellent foundation for careers in business, education, law, and public service. The study of history enables students to find and evaluate a wide variety of information and develops analytic and critical skills. The study of history also encourages students to examine closely the institutions, ideas, and systems that shape our world. Requirements for the history major broaden students’ understanding of other cultures and their historical interconnections, and thereby sharpen the skills essential to all historical inquiry. History makes a unique contribution to a liberal education. It requires the attainment of a sympathetic appreciation of events and developments seen, not in isolation, but as part of a complex process. The study of history is compatible with any minor, including business, to prepare students for success in their career and professional choices.
