History

Why take history? By learning about culture and society, morality and ethics, you’ll develop an understanding of humanity and how to become a better world citizen. You’ll gain a better perspective of how our government (and others around the world) operates, and what’s behind their decision-making. Leaders, managers, and generals all study history because it teaches strategy, problem-solving and effective communication. These skills will help you succeed in any career you pursue.
