Overview

When you choose to study Philosophy at Benedictine University, you will learn to acquire, understand and synthesize discipline-based knowledge through intensive work with primary sources.

You will also examine and come to understand the dominant historiographical schools of thought, their development and change, as well as understand the trends and challenges facing the discipline and the historian's craft.

As a student of history, you will confront ethical and moral issues from our historical past, make connections to the contemporary moment, and gain insight into the historical interdependence of the United States with the rest of the world historically. In so doing, you will discover, in a broad way, the economic, social and political interdependence of nations historically and the implications for the future of a globalizing world.
