UG in History at St. Cloud State University Minnesota
The Department of History believes the study of history has intrinsic value both as intellectual training and as a basic means of understanding human character. Our goals are to acquaint students with history as a discipline, to stimulate objective analysis of the past, to provide a broader perspective of the future, develop an understanding and appreciation of the nature of change and the diversity of the human experience, and offset parochialism and ethnocentrism through diverse course offerings.
The history department offers major and minor programs and provides background courses for the other humanities and social sciences and for area study and special programs.
The study of a foreign language is very important to the understanding of other cultures and frequently a requirement for graduate work in history.
Students interested in social studies programs with emphasis in history should refer to the programs listed in social studies.
