What is history? History is not just one “fact†after another, instead it is an attempt to explain both change and continuity. It is one of the most exciting subjects that you can study because history teaches us how to think! The study of history allows us to understand and appreciate the great achievements as well as the limitations of civilizations, of nations, of men and women in the past. Why study history? History is one of the oldest academic disciplines known to mankind. For centuries, it has been an important source of knowledge and wisdom. History serves as the collective memory of humanity; without it, we would be like amnesia patients unable to comprehend the past, present or future. What are the benefits derived from the study of history? The study of history allows us to learn from the mistakes of the past, to understand other cultures and peoples and to gain new perspectives on the past, present and future. Studying history develops skills in writing, speaking and analysis. In brief, history is a challenging discipline that can serve as the basis of a true liberal arts education as well as a preparation for graduate and professional studies in fields such as law, government, business, communications and journalism. Placement/Careers The study of history prepares students for careers in a number of fields, such as government, museum work, communications, business and industry. History majors are also prepared for graduate study in history, law, diplomacy, international studies, political science, museum and archival administration and education. Niagara University history graduates have been admitted to a variety of top-notch graduate and professional schools, including Columbia University, Fordham University, Harvard University, the University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, the State University of New York at Buffalo, St. John's University and Yale University. Many of our history/social studies majors go into teaching on the elementary or high school level, while others have pursued studies toward a doctorate degree and teach on the college level.
