Course of Study
The History and Political Science Department at Greenville College enables our students to understand ideas and draw conclusions from the experience of the past that will allow them to participate effectively, ethically, and redemptively in the corporate life of the communities in which they live.
The major is arranged to provide a history and political science student with an emphasis in either history or political science. All students are required to take courses in western civilization, American history or government, world cultures or comparative politics, and courses in historical methods and historiography as foundations of their course of study.
Historians ought to be precise, faithful, and unprejudiced; and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, should make them swerve from the way of truth.
–Cervantes, Don Quixote
