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.
