History
| Why should I choose the history major? A field that encompasses elements of both the humanities as well as the social sciences, history is a major ideally suited for those who have always been intrigued by the past—and how it can impact the future of humanity. But the study of history is much more than the study of kings, queens, and the dates of bygone battles—it is a study that enriches fields as diverse as music, art, architecture, philosophy, and literature. History majors develop the critical thinking, analytical, research, and writing skills required for success in many different fields, including academics, archival and museum work, research, personnel administration, computing, sales, insurance, real estate, banking, law, and more. In addition, many also pursue graduate and professional studies in a variety of disciplines including archival training, law, public administration, and business. What does the program at Flagler offer? Flagler's history program is designed to nurture talents in the study of history, to promote historical awareness, and to enhance critical and analytical skills. As a history major, you can expect to graduate prepared for a variety of careers where strong research, organization, and writing skills are needed, as well as for graduate and professional programs—especially in fields such as law. History majors at Flagler enjoy living and studying in a beautiful, historic campus that dates back to 1887. They also benefit from the College's historically significant location in St. Augustine, the nation's oldest city, which offers easy access to the National Park Service, the St. Augustine Historical Society, the Historic St. Augustine Preservation Board, and the Lightner Museum. |
