Introduction
Interpreting the Past, Preparing the Future
Understanding the past will help you comprehend the present and prepare for the future.
Strengthen Your Diploma
Versatility and Knowledge
“History majors understand the world and their place in it better than most people,” says Rick Dodgson, Associate Professor of History. “History students get a real chance to think about our world and the creation of their society in ways that perhaps other students don’t.”
Here at Lakeland, your History major or minor will strengthen your diploma and indicate strong versatility and knowledge. Often, students double major in History and Education to become highly sought-after school teachers. History majors are also natural, attractive candidates for law school, among other graduate school programs.
Small Classes, Greater Experiences
Hands-On Learning
“What makes it special is the relatively small class size which allows us to do things you just can’t do at a big university with a class full of 350 people … In our classes, if it’s an archeology class, we go out and do archeology. If we’re studying ethnic history, my class goes to the Sheboygan County Historical Research Center, which is full of millions of documents, and our students research the immigration history of local people.”
In addition, internships are strongly encouraged and set up at local museums and archives.
