The goal of the History major is to provide students with a vigorous academic and intellectual experience that will enable them to analyze the major global and local historical milestones and events that have shaped today’s world. As a result of completing the requirements for the History major, students will be prepared for graduate-level education, or teaching, research, archival, museum, and business careers. Students will demonstrate their mastery of content areas in American and European history through their competency in written and oral communication, critical and analytical thinking, and understanding and appreciation of the Catholic Franciscan values, and their application within their professional and personal lives.
