Studying history is a journey of exploration. It is an exploration of our ancestors, an exploration into our communities and into our world, and an exploration of ourselves. At NSC, you will play an active role in this journey by taking classes taught by our award-winning faculty and by becoming not just a student of history, but a historian yourself.
History isn’t simply remembering dates and names. It is an act of exploration and interpretation where you will use the relics of the past to try to figure out how things have changed over time. Historians attempt to find patterns and establish meaning through the rigorous study of documents and artifacts left by people of other times and other places. History gives you the skills necessary to understand our complex world and helps analyze and write better, preparing you for careers in education, business, communications, government, law, museum work, and public service.
At NSC, this journey is geared toward student success. You won’t just be stuck behind a desk taking notes from a lecture; you will be exploring documents, historical photographs, and old films. You will be making arguments and taking part in cutting-edge kinds of research such as our new undergraduate oral history project where students will be involved in actually taping and filming area residents as they retell our past. You will also prepare for success in professional world by exploring such options as our new History Major with a Concentration in Pre-Law.
At NSC, the history faculty really get to know their students. You will have personalized attention from instructors who know your name and can write detailed letters of recommendation when you go on the job search. Our goal is to help you succeed.
