Overview
At New England College, students of history apprentice as researchers, analysts, and communicators. They also have the opportunity to experience history as it is made: Every four years, the presidential campaign season begins in New Hampshire and reminds us that America was born in the towns and woods of New England.
Young historians have numerous opportunities to study abroad as part of their program at 巴黎人. As they grow in the profession, our journeyman students often choose to ply their skills in the area of public history. Internships in historical societies, living history sites, and political campaigns are just a few of the ways in which young historians gain experience and confidence.
The study of history offers students the tangible benefits of a strenuous educational program in the types of skills required of successful citizens of the world in the coming years. The ability to find and retrieve information is only the beginning. Students trained in the discipline of history acquire also a facility with language, the ability to analyze information, synthesize it, and convey the results in a clear, effective and meaningful way. The student of history has the added joy of exploring the cumulative thoughts and actions of the millions of men and women of all races, creeds and nationalities which, taken together, constitute the story of human interaction through the centuries. A major in history connects the student’s life today to those who have lived before.
