历史文学学士

没有过去的知识，个人和社会就成为当下的囚徒–无法了解当前情况和当前问题的成因。作为一门通识教育学科，历史旨在允许学生超越自己的文化极限，并通过研究其他年龄段的其他社会，为人类环境的多样性打开视线。人们常常注意到，历史是第一个真正的“跨学科”学科。之所以如此，是因为所有事物，无论多么专业，都具有历史，因此，对于历史学家而言，一切都是正确的研究主题。例如，在本系中，该课程不仅涵盖从古代到现代的范围，而且还致力于通过研究各种民族和地方，使学生真正地具有全球视野。
Without knowledge of the past, individuals and societies become prisoners of the presentunable to understand the causes of present circumstances and present problems. As a liberal discipline, history permits students to transcend their own cultural limits and, through the study of other societies in other ages, to open their eyes to the diversity of the human environment. It has often been noted that history is the first truly interdisciplinary discipline. This is true because everything, no matter how specialized, has a history, and therefore everything is a proper subject of study for the historian. As a student in our department, youll be able to explore course offerings ranging from the ancient world to modern times, and youll gain a truly global perspective through the study of a diverse array of peoples and places.
