History
"I
have but one lamp by which my feet are guided,
and that is the lamp of experience.
I know no way of judging the future
but by the past."
--Patrick Henry, 1775
The
History major at Berry College offers a strong foundation for students
interested in graduate study or careers in law, education, writing,
the ministry, business, government, library and archival work, or
historic restoration. The major requires students to complete the
survey courses in American and World History, eight electives on
specialized topics, and a writing course on the Meaning and Method
of History. History serves as a core component for the program in
International Studies, and students pursuing an Interdisciplinary
Studies major may select History as one of their program’s
fields. For students majoring in other disciplines, the department
also offers a minor in History, which serves as an excellent complement
for studies in business, the sciences, and other liberal arts fields.
