What our students say about the History program
“History gives a really strong background for law, especially through the reading and writing skills the program equips students with. After the course prerequisites especially, I was able to experience my professors exploring American and world history from diverse perspectives - this includes in depth inquisitions about personal cases of historical events. This program has also given me an opportunity for an independent study of court cases and how they shape history. The expertise and scholarship I am gaining is continually preparing me for my future aspirations.”
