The field of history is central to the liberal arts and is an essential area of study for producing an educated person. It is concerned with the human story in all of its manifestations in the past. History provides the critical insights necessary for understanding the contemporary world and comprehending the context in which one lives and works. The study of history relies heavily upon reading and all forms of analytical and narrative writing.
Maryville’s history major provides students with an encompassing global study of the interactions, activities and productivity of societies and cultures throughout time. The major’s objective is to develop an understanding of history that will serve as a foundation for any career path and a stimulus for a lifetime of interest and inquiry. A minor is required for a B.A. in History.
