Overview

History is clearly the broadest and most inclusive of all the academic disciplines, since it properly includes the development of all other areas of study. The study of history is a solid preparation for life in an increasingly unpredictable modern world. Its study sharpens abilities to:

Analyze and evaluate information critically
Interpret relationships
Translate ideas into different forms
Apply concepts to varying situations
Synthesize new concepts from given information
Evaluate alternate courses of action or interpretations of historical data

The History program offered by McKendree University sharpens students’ ability to analyze and evaluate information critically, apply historical concepts to varying situations, and develop strong writing and research capabilities.
