The study of history aims to improve an understanding of the modern world through a perspective that enables evaluation of both its mature and its underdeveloped conditions. The history program at Marymount focuses primarily on the areas of European and American history. Resources for the study of history in the Washington area are extraordinary, and many students find opportunities to witness firsthand history-making events in this capital city. The history major ? traditionally a preparation for careers in law, business, teaching, research, and many other fields ? includes courses essential to the study of the European and American traditions. The requirements of the major are deliberately flexible to accommodate a variety of options within the discipline and with other fields of study. Internship opportunities in the Washington area are outstanding. The study abroad program offers internship and study programs in numerous locations. The most popular destinations include England, Ireland, and Italy. History majors are encouraged to consider a minor concentration in another discipline. Upon successful completion of the history program, students will be able to demonstrate the ability to analyze and assess critically primary and secondary sources within their historical contexts; demonstrate the ability to interpret history through research and synthesis of evidentiary sources and application of theory and method; and demonstrate the ability to apply historical knowledge effectively through the construction and communication of oral and written arguments in a professional forum.
