Introduction
The Department of History seeks to help students comprehend
the present state of the world through a study of some of the
essential currents of the past. The department strives to provide an
understanding of the experiences of mankind, to stimulate thought
concerning various institutions and ideas, and to promote ethical
standards in keeping with the Christian faith.
There is an attractive future for those who specialize in history,
including such areas as the following:
* College Teaching. This is one of the most desirable careers
for history majors. For those who go on to a master's degree,
openings may be available in junior colleges. Senior college
positions may be available to those who attain the PhD.
* Government Service. Careers for historians exist in local,
state and federal governments.
* Graduate Studies. History is an exceptionally good area for
preparation for graduate studies in fields that require broad,
liberal arts education at the undergraduate level.
* Journalism. History is splendid preparation for students
who seek graduate study and careers in journalism.
* Law. History is one of several fields especially suitable as
pre-law education.
* Museums, Archives and Libraries. The creation of special
documents collections, presidential libraries, research centers
and historical society museums has increased opportunities for
persons with history training. Additional technical training may
be required.
* High School Teaching. Teaching history in high schools
requires state certification. Certification may be obtained by
combining the Bachelor of Arts degree in history with specific
education courses needed for teacher certification or by
completing the Bachelor of Science degree in social studies
for teachers (Grades 8-12).60 Foreign Languages/History
