History at Ozarks
History majors at Ozarks will find a program offering a broad background in American, European and non-Western cultures. The history program attempts to enrich the critical study of humanity’s past with insights from politics, economics, philosophy and the arts. Considered the heart of the liberal arts curriculum, history emphasizes the development of writing, critical reading, reasoning, research and discussion skills.
As an Ozarks history student, you will have the chance to grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. You will learn about a variety of cultures and can leave Ozarks prepared to pursue advanced study in graduate or professional schools, teach at the secondary-level, or obtain employment using the knowledge and skills you've acquired!
Get involved! The history department lets Ozarks history students get hands-on experience in the field. A number of Internships are available that offer students the opportunity to practice history outside an academic setting, such as in a museum, a national or state park, or with a historical society. See the internship website for more information.
History and film presents movies on a wide range of historical topics, with discussions moderated by an Ozarks history professor.
