In addition to a two-semester core class in world civilization, the department offers courses in American, European, Latin American, and church history. There are also history internships, a History and Historians course that focuses on historical methodology, and a senior seminar that provides an in-depth research and writing experience. While studying in the department, students will deepen their understanding of the integration of one’s Christian faith and history.
Students may major or minor in history. A history minor with a church history emphasis is also available for students who have a special interest in the history of Christianity.
The Department of History offers many benefits to students:
The faculty are highly trained historians, effective classroom teachers, and caring individuals. Their commitment extends to scholarship where department members have been published regionally, nationally, and internationally.
History majors take courses in world, American, and church history, study historical methodology, and write a major research paper in a senior seminar. From Union, majors move on to graduate school, law school, or seminary, or launch careers in teaching, government, or business.
Programs include:
- History major
- Teacher Licensure for History (Grades 7-12)
- History minor
