Why History?
At Montreat College, the study of history offers expertise in global, European, and American history, along with opportunities for topical studies, experiential learning, and internships. These courses form a foundational part of a holistic liberal arts education, fostering an understanding of other disciplines. Students are encouraged to learn from others' memories and stories, exercising moral imagination and engaging their world with historical consciousness. Additionally, the history department explores how the Christian faith enriches historical understanding, valuing the past as real, meaningful, authoritative, and comprehensible. This approach encourages students to pursue historical truth while acknowledging their limited understanding and engaging with larger questions of God, nature, and human nature.
