History
The study of history at Springfield College is designed to provide students with a basic body of historical and related knowledge which will enable them to better understand the world they inhabit, the problems of their society, and their own lives.
Another major goal of the history program is to assist students in developing analytical, problem-solving, research, and writing skills. Careers in government service, law, business, and teaching readily follow the training of those who major in this discipline.
