 HISTORY
The
study of the past is important, even indispensable,
to an understanding of the present. People have most frequently thought so in times
-- like the present -- where they faced rapid
change, when the familiar world was being transformed
in ways they could feel and see without being
able to understand the underlying causes. As History stands on the boundaries between
the social sciences and the humanities, it offers
a good foundation for many interdisciplinary
fields and a good background for the study of
art, literature, economics, philosophy, politics,
sociology, anthropology, and social psychology. The History program at STAC comprises
both upper –level research seminars and
introductory survey courses, to accommodate
history majors, non-majors, and the student
who is fulfilling core requirements. Students
of history will receive background and preparation
for careers in law,
public administration, or public service and,
of course, teaching. They will learn how to analyze problems,
how to study evidence and construct an argument,
how to read accurately and critically, and,
most importantly, how to write clearly and forcefully.
