Overview

In today’s fragmented, fast-paced society, a true and rich understanding of political, cultural, and religious environments will prove an asset as you pursue professional goals. History majors from Wheaton College Illinois sharpen a host of intellectual skills, including the ability to read analytically, reason carefully, argue logically, and communicate persuasively.

You’ll be introduced to the joys and challenges of studying the past in such a way that you’ll better understand yourself, your own culture, and the broader world. And you’ll be equipped for a variety of vocational paths, including business, politics, law, journalism, teaching, the ministry, and further graduate work in history.

Career preparation

You’ll critically evaluate History and Social Science evidence, build logical arguments, and persuasively communicate those arguments. You will learn to write as never before. Our classes place great emphasis on the ability to transform evidence into persuasive argument, skills that are broadly transferable to any number of vocations.
