The Key to the Getting Ahead Today, Is Understanding the Past
Do you ever wonder about the origins and evolution of our society? How did we arrive at our present moment? Where, as a society, might we be going?
History majors at St. Francis College learn how historical causation and institutional and cultural forces have shaped our increasingly complex and inter-connected modern world, as well as gain the skills they will need to articulate significant historical questions, frame hypotheses, gather evidence, look for patterns and relationships, explore alternative methods and interpretations, and articulate substantive arguments and conclusions clearly and persuasively. These are all skills that are in high demand in today’s work place.
