Objective - History
In the established tradition of liberal arts education, the Department of History provides students with personal cultural enrichment, while preparing them for employment in fields in which historical knowledge, habits of mind, and skills (such as research, analysis, and communication) are valued, and/or for further study leading to careers in teaching, the law, the ministry, government service, and many others.
Chair in History
The Garnie W. McGinty Chair of History, endowed in 1977 by Dr. G. W. McGinty, former head of the History Department, is currently occupied by a member of the department. The McGinty Trust Fund also enables the department to publish scholarly historical works and to award scholarships to qualified students. The department also sponsors the American Foreign Policy Center.
Requirements for a Major
Thirty semester hours in history, as specified in the curriculum below, constitute a major in the Department of History. Every history major must have a minor, normally 21 hours in a related field, chosen in consultation with his or her advisor and, if necessary, the head of the department in which the student wishes to minor. Every major will consult with his or her advisor during each registration period and throughout the term as need arises. This program leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
