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).
Study Abroad Expectations
All students are encouraged to participate in ACU's Study
Abroad program. Classes offered at Study Abroad sites vary
