History at SJC:
History courses can enlarge the student's intellectual horizon by an ordered, meaningful, and up-to-date inquiry into the past. This includes not only courses in United States and European history, but also introductions into several areas of non-Western history and into the basic skills of historical research itself.

The major in history prepares the student for graduate studies, entry into law school, and teaching in secondary schools, as well as providing a broad, cultural basis for a later career in various fields of business or the arts.
