History

When you major in history at JU, you can pick your battle—anything from the early Greeks to World War II, to the conflicts in the Middle East. What’s more, if you have a special interest in a certain period or historical event, you can tailor an independent study to fit your topic.

At JU, history professors are passionate about what they teach and they all agree on one thing: history shouldn’t be boring. Your class might take place over breakfast or on-site during the re-enactment of the Olustee Battle of the Civil War. Students also have opportunities to present research projects at national conferences, study abroad, and take advantage of internships.
