History (Minor)

History is a core component of an authentic liberal arts education. The study of the past encompasses every facet of human interaction, including society and culture, the economy, politics, war, thought, religion—even the future is only studied by analyzing the past. Utilizing primary and secondary sources, students learn to employ the methodologies of both science and the humanities in order to identify, analyze, and critically evaluate their subject matter. The sheer breadth of the field makes the study of history intriguing and essential for a well-rounded education.
