The subject of history is the life of peoples and of humanity - Leo Tolstoi

Join us as we embark into a voyage of discovery—of the past. By reconstructing earlier civilizations and studying ages from prehistory to the present, you will come to see our current era in relationship to all that has come before. You will develop a sense of continuity that broadens your perspective and gives you a more acute awareness of your surroundings. Your effort to understand the past will hone various skills and techniques, including your ability to evaluate evidence, employ imagination, research diverse sources of information, and communicate.

Indeed, the study of history is the study of change. And the more aware you are of the continuous process of change, the better prepared you are to deal with the changes taking place today. Yes, history is an adventure, and studying it prepares you for any number of future career opportunities, including the law, teaching, business, and government, to name a few.
