A student receiving a degree in this field will be able to:

• Demonstrate an understanding that History shares with English a narrative tradition that relies on the written word to tell its story by evaluating documents.
• Discuss and appraise the influence of multiple factors or "causes" in an historical event or development.
• Recognize and evaluate the influence of contingency or chance in an historical event or development.
• Compare, contrast and evaluate the influence or role of actions or inaction in determining an outcome in an historical event or development.
• Considering History's multi-discipline nature, describe and appraise the role that "environment" (physical, social, cultural, technological and economic, etc.) may play in an historical event or development.
• Critique and evaluate an historical event or development as a study of human activity and conclude how it informs us about human nature.
• Analyze and evaluate an historical event or development that demonstrates the fact that at times we cannot have absolute certainty about what happened in the past.
