As an undergraduate major, the discipline of history provides students with skills and knowledge valued in our increasingly global society and economy. Emphasizing both American and non-American societies, cultures, and politics, history imparts important understandings of human motivation and interaction which form an essential background for all current activities whether they be in the realm of business, law, journalism, politics, or education. Students in history develop skills in intensive reading, expository writing, and logical and analytical thinking while learning how to communicate internationally using the department's up-to-date computer facilities.
