Bachelor in Geschichte

The study of history is critical for our understanding of the human experience. Through the study of history, we develop an understanding of who we are, where we came from, how and why our society has changed over time and how humans have interacted with each other and with the natural world. Hiram’s history major prepares students for active citizenship and for informed, thoughtful decision-making throughout their lives.

The Hiram College History Program works closely with students to help them with career planning and preparation. Students complete historical research and writing history. We encourage and guide our students to think like historians and to get involved actively in the reconstruction and analysis of the past. The History Program also brings speakers to campus to discuss career opportunities for history majors. Alumni have gone on to become business leaders, lawyers, teachers and professors, political leaders, government workers, librarians, and leaders in non-profit organizations.
