History

By examining the past, you understand the present and can create a better future. Historians study humanity’s past successes and failures, eras of brilliance and times of darkness, enlightened civilizations, and devastating regimes—all of which help explain the present. With a degree in history you will learn which ideals, systems, and structures benefited humanity, which ones didn’t, and ease your entry into a variety of professions.
