In the History Department, experiential learning takes many forms. Inside the classroom, students conduct hands-on research, applying what they learn as they analyze primary sources, construct arguments, and present their findings. Outside of the classroom, students engage in service learning and study around the world, complete internships in museums, archives, government agencies and offices, and with private firms and offices.
These experiential opportunities allow them to apply the skills they develop in their classes to explore professional pathways. Reading with care, thinking critically, analyzing and synthesizing data, collaborating with others and communicating effectively all provide our students with the educational foundation necessary for success. Opportunities to apply this knowledge in research here and abroad, and onsite in internships and placements, helps our students achieve their goals.
