HISTORY
          The major in History give students a broad grasp of world history and the cultural backgrounds of many segments of contemporary society. Students learn methods of historical research and exposition that may be applied not only but the professional historian but also by those interested in pursuing careers in government, law, the media, and other fields. Since many history majors decide to go on to graduate school, proficiency in at least one foreign language is useful for these students.
