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.
