History - Marymount University

History from Marymount University is a Campus Bachelor History degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Historians tell stories ? real stories that recount real events that changed lives, nations, and civilizations. There's a bit of a historian in all of us. Marymount's History program encourages you to bring out your inner ?historian.? When something meaningful happens in your family, country, or on the other side of the world and you ask ?what, why, where, how,? you are thinking like a historian. When you answer those questions and record those answers, you are a historian ? preserving stories from family history to events of international consequence. Marymount's History program prompts you to ask questions ? something historians call the study of cause-and-effect relationships. What causes wars, technological revolutions, and changing culture? And what are the effects of these happenings? All realms of exploration are open to the historian's questions ? political, economic, social, cultural, and intellectual matters.
