History

"History is not history unless it is the truth."

Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States (1809-1865)

Why History?

The History degree at Colorado Christian University opens a broad range of doors for graduates – from teaching to overseas employment. With proper planning and preparation, you’ll have many opportunities after graduation to use the critical thinking skills and historical knowledge learned during your history courses. An undergraduate degree in history is an ideal preparation for many government jobs. CCU History graduates have applied for work with the FBI, the INS, and other government agencies. They have received internships at the National Archives, local museums, and with political officials and government agencies. Former CCU students are serving as journalists, educators, paralegals, aides to state and national legislators, researchers in political think tanks, pastors, missionaries, and relief workers all over the world.

CCU History majors are encouraged to engage in debates, to be aware of current events and politics, to pray for and learn about the persecuted church, and to think critically about historical events and their impact on the world from an evangelical point of view.
