Schreiner
University offers courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree
with a major in History, with concentrations in either American
or European History. The program is designed to instill in students
a broad and analytical outlook which is essential for a truly educated
and productive citizen.
Lower
level courses focus on acquisition of historical knowledge, historical
thinking, writing skills, and conceptual analysis. Upper
division courses and seminars emphasize historical research, evaluation
of sources, and critical historical analysis. The history faculty
assumes that an objective and accurate assessment of historical
trends will cultivate in each student a greater awareness and appreciation
of contemporary society and lead to greater individual awareness
and appreciation. Employment
opportunities for liberal arts graduates in general, and History
majors in particular, are expanding significantly. History graduates
are qualified to enter fields such as teaching, law, foreign and
government service, paralegal professions, business, communications,
and research. Both the major and minor in history prepare students
for related graduate studies.
