History

The study of History enables you to understand various movements and influences that, throughout time, have shaped and formed the world in which you live. It explores the influence of culture, religion, politics, economics, and other forces from the emergence of written texts to the present time. It includes inquiry into the formation of western civilization, as well as the formation and intersections of global civilizations.At CMU, significant attention is also given to the history of Christianity, but the courses that most specifically address this area appear under Biblical and Theological Studies. Studies in History prepare you for careers in government, journalism, archival work, and education.
