Administered by the Department of History, students in the history option should acquire a broad background from the study of the human experience in different cultures and time periods. A wide distribution of courses is therefore advisable. This is especially true for those who wish to enter government service, or professional schools for law, social work, museum and library science, business administration, or labor and industrial relations. The Social Studies Teaching Option prepares students to teach social studies in Secondary School. See also Teacher Education Minor in Social Studies.
