Overview

As a History student at Albion College , you’ll examine many cultures and time periods while maintaining the freedom to choose what interests you most.

Why Study History at Albion?

Our courses take you around the world—Europe, Latin America, East Asia, Africa and the United States—as well as through the centuries—from 3000 BCE to the 21st century.

As part of our curriculum, you’ll do things like examine ancient Greek and Roman military maneuvers. Discover historical photography with museum-grade vintage cameras from 1950s Germany and Japan. Learn about the American Revolution through role-playing games. Internships, research at leading museums and archives and off-campus experiences allow you to apply your classroom-acquired knowledge to the real world.

What Will You Learn as a History Major?

You’ll build a broad knowledge base, taking courses in American, European and Asian or Latin American History, as well as a number of special topics. You might look at global conflicts from multiple perspectives or study concepts of race and gender throughout history.
You’ll develop highly translatable skills, like the ability to see an issue from multiple perspectives. You’ll practice challenging conventional wisdom and communicating ideas effectively through writing and speaking.

You’ll tailor your curriculum to your interests and goals. You might pursue advanced coursework in a specific region, complete thesis work, or even find courses in other departments—like foreign languages—that complement your history studies.
