History
Minor
Students studying history at Jessup will find themselves well prepared for graduate study in a number of related disciplines in the liberal arts as well as law school. Students planning on entering seminary will find in a Jessup history major a suitable course of study as well – particularly when considered along with the Bible and theology classes required of all students. In conjunction with the Teacher Education program, students should be well prepared for a single subject credential in history.
About the Program
With Jessup’s Digital Humanities major now anchoring our study of language, culture, and technology, the History minor provides a focused investigtion into history and culture that complements most primary degrees that are offered at Jessup. Through survey courses in American , classical, and modern history, as well as numerous elective offerings in both history and digital humanities, students learn think critically about the present in light of the past.
The minor equips graduates for careers and graduate programs that prize sharp analytical insight and articulate communication—fields such as business, marketing, public relations, ministry, counseling, law, education, and nonprofit leadership.
