"I believe
in memory," a great historian wrote. History is our collective
memory, an understanding of our heritage, of who we are and how
we came to be. The history major provides students with the knowledge
and tools of history, but also provides a sense of roots, as well
as a broader perspective on the diverse regions and peoples of the
world. Training in history teaches students how to think, how to
analyze different kinds of problems, and is solid training for such
careers as teaching, law, business, historic preservation, or archival
management.
Extracurricular
