International Studies, Bachelor of Arts, History Concentration
The Department of International Studies provides an individualized program encompassing communication and language, historical and political awareness, and multicultural appreciation for students who will be the citizens of the global village of the 21st century. History is the study of past cultures and their relationship to the present conditions of human civilization. The study of history allows human beings to put their own ideas and actions into a far greater context of human experience, and to compare themselves to peoples of other times and places. History gives perspective and balance, among the most useful and practical traits human beings can have. The discipline of history also teaches students to think rigorously, interpret, and communicate. History is recognized as excellent training for many professions, including law and public service, policy-making in business and government, teaching and academics, and medicine. In addition, the Department of International Studies offers certificate programs and minors in Atlantic Community Studies and Russian and East European Studies. Please see page 84.
