An important goal of the history program at Parkside is introducing you to the drama of the past. If you have an interest in law, genealogy, family vacations to Washington, D.C. or Gettysburg, or enjoy the History Channel, a history major may be right for you.
Faculty members are nationally recognized teachers and scholars who present a variety of introductory and advanced history courses in the general areas of American, European, Asian, Middle East, and world history.
As a history major you will enjoy a curriculum full of rich, historical knowledge that will enable you to become a skilled researcher, analyst, writer, and communicator. Graduates are prepared for careers in teaching, research, archival work, corporate communications, public service, law, journalism, marketing, and editing to name a few.
