Minimum Requirements for Degree: 120 credits Downloadable PDF The history department seeks to make students aware of the human cultural
heritage, the great problems that have faced humans throughout history
and how we have sought to solve them.
The department also trains students to apply the historical method which
offers analysis based on the dimension of time. Discussion, focused on
concrete, specific events, persons and judgments, explains why things are
as they are. Students learn effective historical research and writing.
Through the study of history, students prepare for careers in public service
agencies; as members of management teams, particularly in the area of policy
analysis; for careers in teaching; or for advanced work in history and
other social sciences.
