History - Dominican College of Blauvelt

History from Dominican College of Blauvelt is a Campus Bachelor History degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. About the Program ?The most wonderful thing about any man is that he knows and the saddest thing is that he be ignorant.? As the ninth-century British ruler Alfred the Great rightly noted, education is indeed an ennobling experience, and in particular learning about the human story of the past can deepen our knowledge even as it broadens our perspectives. Yet, the study of history is more than just learning a varied collection of facts. Since the ancient Greek historian Herodotus of Halicarnassus wrote the world's first true historical account in the fifth century B.C., studying history has meant research, analysis, and critical interpretation of the source materials that maintain a record of our past. Through this process we can come to discover the origin, growth, and complexity of civilization, and in so doing, we can develop a framework from which to view and respond to the challenge of our time. In order to meet the needs of students as individuals in an increasingly competitive and technological society, the history program at Dominican College traces the development of spiritual and humanistic ideas and values, provides intellectual and cultural enrichment, and develops skills in critical thinking, research, and expression. Equipped with such knowledge and skills, the student is prepared to make a creative response to the challenge of the contemporary world. View more details on Dominican College of Blauvelt .
