Overview

Students interested in the History and Political Science combined major at Northeastern University integrate the study of political systems and theories with the study and analysis of human history.

What you will learn

History at Northeastern emphasizes the study of local and regional histories as well as of the global exchanges between nations, regions, and cultures.

Knowledge of the past is also about building the future. In a world marked by increasing exchange between peoples, cultures, and societies, history is key to understanding contemporary issues such as the future of democracy, the nature of citizenship and rights, the origins and conduct of war, the foundations of racial and ethnic conflict and tolerance, and poverty and prosperity.

At the same time, history teaches crucial skills in analytical thinking, research processes, writing, oral expression, and multimedia presentation.
