><p>Through impactful learning experiences both in and out of the classroom, the Â鶹´«Ã½ History faculty aim to educate students to be active participants in a democratic society. By offering courses in American Government, American and World History, Public Administration, and more, we challenge students to develop critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills. We understand the value of a liberal arts education and support students\u2019 holistic success.<\/p>\n<p>Our faculty strive to support Â鶹´«Ã½\u2019s general education program and provide advanced courses for students wishing to make History the major focus of their baccalaureate program. Our program prepares students to be teachers or practitioners, providing a solid springboard for professional training in law, business, government service, or education.<\/p>\n<p>The History Program comprises a community of students, teachers, and scholars who are dedicated to analyzing the past and serving as responsible global citizens. Together we probe the stories and experiences of peoples who have lived throughout the United States and on every corner of the globe, from antiquity to the present. In the process, History students cultivate advanced skills as critical thinkers, researchers, writers, and public speakers. Furthermore, students prepare to participate actively in a democratic society.<\/p>\n<p>Studying history is excellent preparation for teaching and advanced study in the humanities and social sciences, law and library schools, and seminaries. The history major also provides a solid foundation for government service, business administration, public history and museum work, and various other areas of communication, journalism, and writing. History courses are an integral part of many other degree programs at Â鶹´«Ã½.<br \/>\nIn addition, the program offers a history minor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1x3uba5-95dcb2004f54f634a43f0c4b3ff26932\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1x3uba5-95dcb2004f54f634a43f0c4b3ff26932{\npadding-bottom:0;\nfont-size:28px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1x3uba5-95dcb2004f54f634a43f0c4b3ff26932 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1x3uba5-95dcb2004f54f634a43f0c4b3ff26932 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:28px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1x3uba5-95dcb2004f54f634a43f0c4b3ff26932 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1x3uba5-95dcb2004f54f634a43f0c4b3ff26932 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1x3uba5-95dcb2004f54f634a43f0c4b3ff26932 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1x3uba5-95dcb2004f54f634a43f0c4b3ff26932 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-inherit-size'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Phi Alpha Theta<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jilz2lm5-4-3f9b443a2492c9f7d533d465c777b115 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Membership in the local chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the international honor society in history, is open to qualified students.
