历史文学学士

对历史的研究发展出对知识的，批判的，清晰的过去感，对人类经验的多样性的欣赏，以及对传统在塑造未来中的作用的认识。通过研究过去，您可以扩大对当代世界的认识和理解。这就是我们希望向学生灌输的东西。我们的部门为您提供实用的研究和沟通技巧，为研究生的工作，法律，教学，档案和图书馆学的研究以及商业和专业的许多职业奠定基础。我们相信采用积极的方法来研究我们的学科。部门成员教授入门级课程和上级课程。教学是我们教师的主要关注点，但是我们也知道，要教好一些东西，还必须在该领域进行研究。因此，该系鼓励教师发表论文，参加专业会
The study of history develops an informed, critical, articulate sense of the past, an appreciation for the diversity of human experience, and an awareness of the role that tradition has played in shaping the present. A focused study of the human past also helps you broaden your perceptions of the contemporary world's complex social structures and cultural interactions. In other words, the study of history provides an informed citizenry with the context that they will need to navigate an increasingly complicated world. The Environmental Studies Program connects science with study of the historical, social, ethical, legal and political issues that affect our natural world and how we interact with it. We explore topics such as environmental chemistry, conservation, protection and economics, while providing a broad education in the social sciences and humanities. With more than a dozen national parks and recreation areas within a day's drive of Gonzaga, we offer firsthand study of well-known natural landmarks - like Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park - and environmentally significant historical events, such as the glacial floods that passed through Spokane 10,000 years ago. Extracurricular activities such as Gonzaga Environmental Organization, Marian Hall Outdoor Adventure and Leadership Theme Community, and Gonzaga Outdoors offer students further opportunities to learn about the environment by experiencing it. A degree in environmental studies can be used for careers in government, the nonprofit sector, law and business. Our graduates have pursued opportunities within universities, Departments of Ecology and Natural Resources, Parks and Wildlife, municipalities and many environmental organizations. Some students will consider a Sustainable Business minor (see the course catalog) from the School of Business Administration. The intention is to have these courses work together across disciplines to give students the necessary background in both business and environmental studies. The program is also preparation for graduate study. Students who study History can expect to develop the research, analytical, and communication skills necessary for success in today's competitive job market. A History degree offers a well-rounded foundation for: Graduate work, Study of law, Teaching, Archival and library sciences and Many possible vocations in business and the professions
