历史

亚洲博彩平台排名 University's bachelor's degrees in 历史 strive to increase students' understanding of the past in order to give them a better perspective on the contemporary world. 在研究方面的训练, 写作和分析, our majors are well prepared for graduate work as well as a variety of careers in such fields as education, 政府, 博物馆研究与商业.

Pursue Unique, Hands-On Experiences

While 亚洲博彩平台排名 emphasizes American and European 历史, students learn to appreciate our multicultural world through a variety of courses on non-Western regions. We encourage majors to immerse themselves in other cultures through study abroad programs in such diverse locations as Italy, 埃及, 法国和塞内加尔.

离家更近, we take full advantage of 亚洲博彩平台排名's location in Newport, a leading seaport in the Colonial and Revolutionary eras and a favorite summer destination for the wealthy during the Gilded Age. From courses on the religious 历史 of Newport to internship opportunities at historical societies, 档案馆和博物馆, 我们提供独一无二的, hands-on learning experiences in a living historical environment.

Students may also choose to double major in 历史 and 中等教育, which prepares them to apply for Rhode Island teacher certification for grades 7-12. 通过我们受欢迎的 加速程序, qualified undergraduates can earn their bachelor's degree in 历史 and a master's degree in international relations within five years.

Program Spotlight: Extraordinary Journey

European 历史 major 莎拉·克劳斯

在萨尔维·雷吉娜, the pursuit of knowledge often leads students on extraordinary journeys that transcend the walls of the classroom. 莎拉·克劳斯, a European 历史 major with a minor in cultural and historic preservation, has nurtured her passion for Irish 历史 through her recent study abroad program in Cork, 爱尔兰.

From the green hills of 爱尔兰 back to the cobblestone streets of Newport, Kraus has utilized her hands-on experience abroad to land internships with the Museum of Newport Irish 历史 and the Redwood Library.
