For thousands of years, men and women have studied the past to deepen their understandings of themselves, their societies, and even their futures. The study of history prepares you to evaluate current prospects and choices. It fosters an understanding of people with different beliefs, customs, and institutions. This knowledge of human experience in other times and places creates the cosmopolitan perspective and ability to understand change essential for global citizenship.
