The History/Political Science Major has two major goals. The
first is to develop skills in critical thinking and the objective
analysis of contemporary events, skills that are vital necessities
for all citizens in a democracy. The second goal is to develop
an understanding of our evolving institutions and philosophical
values. If these two goals are met, a student will be prepared
for careers in teaching, public service, environmental studies,
law and related fields.
