History - Drake University

History from Drake University is a Campus Bachelor History degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. PROGRAM OVERVIEW The History Department provides undergraduates with an historical perspective from which they can analyze the contemporary world. The department's courses do not emphasize the accumulation of information about particular events or periods. Instead, they investigate those ideas and institutions by which people have attempted to shape and order their world. We are especially interested in periods that experience pronounced social, economic and political conflict. We believe that comparative history is an effective way to achieve many of our goals. The History Department's program helps students learn to think clearly, to analyze and interpret a broad range of materials and to express themselves both orally and in writing. Courses equip students with the analytical and interpretive skills they require to become enlightened citizens, to pursue professional and business careers and to continue with the advanced study of history. The department offers several categories of courses. Introductory courses provide general coverage of specific topics. Advanced level courses and colloquia involve intensive examination of complicated subject matter. Seminars require the completion of a major research project or projects.
