Majors and Minors

Pfeiffer University's School of Humanities is committed to preparing students to communicate effectively in the 21st century in a multi-cultural environment that fosters servant leadership. We seek to actively engage our students in the learning process by offering them opportunities to develop reading, writing, and oral communication skills that will enable them to be successful students and life-long learners and leaders in various settings including work and civic arenas.

We prepare our graduates for careers in diverse fields ranging from mass media positions to graduate school. Because of this wide range, our department exposes students to diverse learning situations.

History

The History curriculum provides a broad spectrum of courses covering all periods of history in all areas of the world. There are few specifically required courses in the History major and students have the opportunity to design majors (with the approval of the Department Chair) that best meet their own career goals or personal interests.

Graduates in History may continue their studies in graduate or law school or may choose to pursue careers in teaching, government, foreign service, journalism, archival work or business.
