Students may select an orientation suiting their own individual interests, supported by complementary courses in art, literature, the social sciences, theology, and philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>The study of history is integral to a liberal education. Students develop an informed perspective about the varieties and diversity of human experience and about their own inherited cultural traditions.\u00a0 They learn ways to study the past and to make connections between the past and the issues of the contemporary world.\u00a0 Through their investigation of human experience, they develop an understanding of institutions, ideas, and values different from theirs, and, in turn, recognize and deepen their own values.\u00a0 In the process, they acquire skills in interpretation and synthesis based on systematic inquiry and research, analysis of evidence, and the formation of critical judgment.<\/p>\n<p>Training in history offers a foundation for many different careers. Broad reading, the development of critical perspective, the discipline of research, organizational ability, logical presentation of evidence and conclusions, intuitive insight, understanding of human nature -- all these prepare the student for a wide variety of professions.\u00a0 As a result of this academic preparation, Trinity history majors have pursued careers in\u00a0 law, business, print and broadcast journalism, public relations, teaching, and museum education and curatorial work.<\/p>\n<p>The History Program offers both a major and a minor to students in the College of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prerequisites for History Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Only 100-level courses satisfy FLC, Core, or General Education Curriculum requirements.
