历史 and International Studies

Colleges and Programs of Study

This diverse department encourages students to explore the American past, the European heritage, and Non-Western 文化s, providing excellent preparation for law or graduate school, government service, 神学院, museum and archive work, or secondary education.

The 历史 and International Studies department encourages exploration of the American past, European heritage, and Non-Western 文化s.

A major in 历史 is an excellent foundation for graduate study in law, 神学, the humanities, and social sciences with a curriculum designed to encourage students to read critically, think creatively, research thoroughly, and write effectively.

The interdisciplinary International Studies major provides a broad liberal arts foundation, a basic knowledge of foreign 文化s, and an opportunity to concentrate in studies of one or more geographic regions. The increasing interdependence of people, nations and institutions at all level calls for an in-depth study of politics, 市场, 文化, media and information on the global scale. This program prepares students for graduate study, a position in a non-governmental organization such as the Peace Corps or church-related mission work.

 

学生 who are also interested in pursuing law school are encouraged to declare a legal studies minor and speak with Dr. Coty Martin, coordinator. Information about the legal studies minor can be found under Social Sciences – 未成年人.
