History

The field of historical study embraces all recorded expressions of human activity. History includes the record of the political experiences of a people in its internal and external phases, and it also surveys the social and economic aspects of life, forms of artistic expression, intellectual achievements, scientific progress, and religious beliefs. Because of its broad scope, history provides an excellent approach to all studies that emphasize human activities.

Student Associations. History concentrators with an average of 3.5 or better in their history courses are encouraged to join the history Honors society, Phi Alpha Theta, a group which fosters an exchange of ideas between students and faculty, and among students, about common historical interests. Two members of the society are elected to sit on the department's curriculum committee.
