History Overview
When you study history at Stritch, you become part of a supportive community that investigates the vibrant, various stories of human life and recognizes the lasting truths within this dynamic reality.
We challenge our students to think critically as they examine and interpret the people and events of history. We teach them to evaluate conflicting points of view and to recognize and explore the many paradoxes of the human story.
Budding historians at Stritch learn to handle an increasing number and variety of information sources and to analyze, synthesize and use creative ways to share this knowledge. As part of their research training at Stritch, history students sharpen their technology and communication skills using Internet tools, libraries, computer databases, social networking tools and other new media.
