The Department of History and Government provides students with a Christ-centered understanding of the past and present to prepare them to influence the world by shaping society’s future. Consistent with this mission, the Department of History and Government supplies a theoretical foundation and practical experience in preparation for a wide range of career opportunities.

We offer undergraduate majors in Criminal Justice, History, International Studies, Political Science, and Public Administration and graduate degrees in Criminal Justice and Public Administration.
