History

Taylor’s History, Global, and Political Studies programs offer opportunities to study global history, economics, politics, and culture overseas. Students interested in studying the Middle East can spend a semester at Jerusalem University. Other places to travel include Latin America, Spain, London, and more. Our students can also work stateside in the heart of Washington D.C. with Best Semester’s American Studies Program.

The Egypt J-Term experience takes students to Cairo and Luxor to explore the culture of ancient and modern Egypt through an interdisciplinary approach that covers areas such as: history, religion, politics, architecture, art, language, geography/environment, diplomatic relations, and gender relations. By approaching ancient Egypt in this way, students will be challenged to better understand the multifaceted aspects of culture and how different components impact and shape each other.

Customize your History degree by choosing a track that fits your goals.

Women’s History concentration: Women’s History courses shed new light on the often overlooked accomplishments of women, and how social and cultural influences have shaped the lives and roles of women throughout history.

Public History concentration: The Public History concentration teaches students the use of historical skills and methods outside of the classroom, which is the traditional academic realm of history. Public historians use their training to meet the needs of a community, such as a city, neighborhood, business, or historical society.
