Learning about history is learning about people—where they’ve been, what they think and what their stories are. If you know about the past, you’ll better understand today. And with that understanding, you’ll be ready for the challenges of the future.
At Northwestern, we teach history from a Christian perspective. Recognizing there’s no such thing as history written from a “neutral” point of view, our professors study history in the light of the Christian faith while appreciating and drawing on history written out of other commitments. Maybe that's why Northwestern's history program is among those included in Rugg's Recommendations on the Colleges, a national guidebook that recommends specific college departments to prospective students.
As a history major, you’ll learn how to think and express yourself. Those communication skills will give you a wide variety of career options from which to choose. Our graduates are teaching at every level. Others are involved in historical research, museum work or archive management for the business sector or public institutions. Still others have found history provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in law, pastoral ministry and business—as well as for careers in political, civil and diplomatic service.
