Course summary
This program encourages students to think broadly and to integrate all of their knowledge into a meaningful whole. From history a person develops a better understanding of current events and a better appreciation of art, architecture, ideas, politics, and fellow human beings and their activities. It also provides a guide for the future. The study of history is important for journalists, teachers, business people, theologians, politicians, scientists, lawyers, librarians, archivists, museologists and those in many other professions. Students planning any career could benefit from majoring or minoring in history or from choosing history as the lead subject in the social science major or for elective credits. Each student will choose a focus for his or her advanced course work by taking at least four courses in one of the three groups: Group A (U.S. history), Group B (European/Western history), or Group C (non-Western history). Students must take at least one course from each of the other two groups outside of their focus. Students must finish a history course with a grade of C or better for it to count toward the history major.
Program modules
The modules include HIST 1050 World History to the Sixteenth Century 3 - HIST 1060 World History from the Sixteenth Century 3 and HIST 2610 United States History to 1865 3 - HIST 2620 United States History Since 1865 3, and 18 semester hours of advanced work (3000-4000 level), with at least one class in each Group (A, B and C).
