Do you ever wonder how past events relate to the present? Jewell history majors and minors are encouraged to explore ethical and religious concerns as well as social issues. Through your investigation of topics in American history and world history, including the continuing Middle East crisis, you'll gain insight into a variety of disciplines, cultures and current trends.
The history faculty members at Jewell do more than prepare majors and minors for a single career. You'll get a solid foundation in research, critical thinking and analytical learning that can be used in a variety of jobs or graduate study. Class sizes are kept small to encourage individual attention and the free exchange of ideas. Many other outstanding opportunities are open to those who enter the field of history:
