Mission Statement
A study of history should make the past more intelligible, give an insight into continuing human problems, and develop a confidence in humankind’s ability to cope with new environmental conditions. Moreover, an understanding of our own history and that of people who differ from us sharpens the critical faculties and tends to arouse a sense of social responsibility.
Learning Outcomes
The Student will:
- Apply critical thinking to analyze primary and secondary sources.
- Explain the cause, effect, and relevance of specific historical events and/or periods within the broader historical context.
- Understand and articulate diverse historical interpretations.
- Clearly demonstrate the ability to understand and apply basic historical concepts, methodologies, and approaches.
- Articulate historical arguments in a variety of forms of communication.
