The Whole World in Your Hands
Students learn to pose questions, identify sources, examine historical accounts, and consider connections between geography, culture, politics, economics, and religion. In every course, you will consider the underpinnings of societies, whether they be religious, political, philosophical, or cultural.
History classes at Taylor cover a vast array of topics and time periods in both American and world history. American history classes cover colonial America, constitutional law, African-American history, women in American history, and more.
You will also have the opportunity to examine the history and geography of other countries in world history courses like Ancient Near Eastern History, Modern Middle East, The Greco-Roman World, Modern European Empires, Women in the Ancient World, The World since 1945, and many others. History majors will also complete a hands-on practicum with original research and analysis.
