HISTORY
The major in History is designed so that students, in consultation with their
faculty adviser, can plan a program which draws upon a variety of fields of study.
The major is intended (1) to develop an understanding of our rich national
traditions, of our Western heritage, and of other great historical civilizations, (2)
to assist students in gaining a better understanding of the forces which guide
and control the society in which they live, (3) to produce an understanding of
human institutions and values, and (4) to enable undergraduates to begin careers
in various government and service agencies, and to prepare for graduate study
in such areas as college teaching, government service, city management, urban
planning, and law.
Teaching licensure requirements are subject to change by the Virginia Department
of Education. Programs of study are altered accordingly when changes are
deemed necessary to assure that candidates meet licensure requirements.
