Program Objectives:

The History program provides a major that guides students to become competent professional historians and teachers of history. The program has a broadening effect on both majors and non-majors by helping them to become informed individuals who develop the personal depth and scholarship to put the present world into historical perspective and provide leadership for the future. History complements the liberal arts program at Ashland University by providing a wide range of historical topics that relate to and incorporate many of the specialized fields of study students pursue. History is an integral part of the liberal arts education. The program assists students who want to pursue post-graduate education, research and writing.
