Our History program gives you the opportunity to examine and evaluate the human experience within the context of time and place. You’ll look at past events of various countries and regions from different perspectives, and try to connect those events to the present in meaningful ways. It is important to understand how politics, society, culture, and economics have developed and changed throughout history, in order to make sense of the world in which we live today.
