History Major Advising
Focus your studies by living in the location where pivotal events have occurred. Live and work within the cultures that have shaped world history. Study abroad allows you to deepen your understanding of the past and the present, and to view historical processes from within the context of culture.
A wide variety of History courses taken abroad are transferrable for the history major, so get creative about what you would like to achieve and learn. Maybe you want to research Postwar Soviet Life in Moscow, study the Roman Coliseum up close, or discuss daily life with the locals in Latin America while living there yourself?
If American history is your interest, why not take a course or two abroad about American history from a completely different perspective, or study one of the hundreds of cultures and histories that come together to form the United States? Studying historical places, periods, and people overseas can supplement your studies and understanding like no other experience can.
As a History major, many study abroad options are available to you. From short-term, faculty-led programs to full-year enrollment at a foreign university, there are plenty of opportunities to earn credit toward your degree, take General Education classes, or explore general electives in subjects that interest you. Other exciting opportunities include language study and internships.
