Why Choose Nazareth for History?

Expert full-time faculty committed to your learning and success, exciting opportunities for you to do experiential learning, and strong mentorship across your years at Nazareth prepare you well for life after college.

Take innovative classes, such as Natural Disasters, Alcohol in American Society, Joan of Arc, History of Medicine, and History of Crime in Latin America. Pursue research and become our next award-winner presenter at regional conferences through our active Phi Alpha Theta chapter. Learn and make connections through internships and study abroad, including our long-standing program in Berlin, Germany that includes a professional internship.
Use your studies to shape a career in teaching, international business, government, law, policy analysis, museums or public history. Multiple recent alums have gone on for fully funded advanced degrees.

Program Highlights

• Close-knit, lively interaction between students and faculty, with healthy cross-pollination of ideas among the different majors. Expect to talk to faculty outside of class and to collaborate with peers.
• Emphasis on writing, analysis, research, and critical thinking.
• Focus not just on historical events, but how they are interpreted and communicated — history in film versus the written word, for example.
• Options include becoming an elementary or middle/high school teacher.
• You have the opportunity to save time and money on a law school degree through Nazareth's 3+3 B.A. to J.D. partnership with Syracuse University.
