At Eastern Nazarene College, students don’t just read about history. They explore, research, and discover history in the historic backdrop of Quincy and Boston, acquiring a dynamic understanding of history while developing marketable communication and critical thinking skills.
Eastern Nazarene College’s history program helps students acquire a foundation in history and develop historical thinking skills through a comprehensive curriculum that includes courses in topics that span the history of America, Europe, and Africa; immigration; genocide; and the Cold War, to name just a few. Students also have the opportunity to tailor their degree to their areas of interest and can pursue complementary minors in Religion, Pre-Law, Public Administration, Communication Arts, and a host of other options. Upon graduation, students are prepared to enter any number of professions, including education, social work, and public history. Many students pursue graduate studies in history, law, international relations, and library science.
Eastern Nazarene College’s small class sizes and faith-based community help students advance their historical interests and career aspirations while also developing their beliefs in a place where both academic and spiritual growth is encouraged and nurtured.
