Department of History

Moore (department chair)

(SYMBOL: HST)

The Department of History seeks bright, motivated young people who are interested in the world around them and who desire to work toward becoming reflective, thoughtful, and well-rounded Christians. Undergraduate study of history prepares students for graduate work in many fields, including theology, linguistics, and psychology. JBU’s History Department is especially equipped to assist students interested in pursuing careers in law, international relations, and politics. In addition to being a good thing in itself, learning about history complements all other courses of study. For this reason, the department offers courses within the Core Curriculum. Courses in this department also serve as a substantial component of the Social Studies curriculum as required for the B.S.E. with a major in History (see Department of Teacher Education for student learning outcomes).
