Department of History
About the Department
Studying History at Westminster College offers the best of both worlds: an elite college curriculum in a small, intimate atmosphere. The History curriculum is second to none, combining topical courses with advanced skills seminars that together prepare majors for a range of careers after graduation.
Our majors and minors learn a lot about the history of America, Europe, and the globe, but also how to read, write, think critically, and interpret primary sources at an advanced level. Additionally, at Westminster, you will have the opportunity to gain resume-worthy work experiences through internships and practicums. In short, our majors succeed because they graduate from a program designed to lead them to success.
Experiences & Opportunities
At Westminster, learning isn’t limited to the classroom. In each of our 50+ majors and pre-professional programs, your education will be enhanced by the purposeful combination of expert classroom instruction and hands-on learning opportunities. Internships, undergraduate research and studying abroad are just a few of the real experiences our students get that lead to real success after graduation.
Faculty & Academic Staff
Teachers, researchers, experts, mentors...our faculty members are all these things and more to their students. They trained in universities around the globe, but they chose to teach and conduct research at Westminster because of the focus on student development and success. Their dedication to mentoring and teaching is evident in our students’ success when it comes to graduation rates, post-graduation employment and graduate and professional school acceptance.
