History

An undergraduate education in History provides students with a breadth and depth of knowledge about the world in which we live, as well as the driving forces that have shaped it.

By understanding the past, students gain awareness of other cultures and a deeper understanding of who we are as a nation. Combined, the skills developed while pursuing a degree in history at LBCC produce graduates who are intellectually nimble, able to adapt to the ever-changing economic, cultural, political, and technological landscapes that we inhabit.
