History Mission

History courses can provide a framework for future knowledge, open up new perspectives on where we have come and suggest alternatives to the way things are done now—perhaps even guides for future acts and ideas. History courses foster the development of the historian's research skills and the ability to read and write analytically, to speak effectively, and to think critically. Further, the broad approach of the history discipline fulfills the mission of St. Norbert College by providing students with an academic experience through which to examine the values, norms and ideals of their own and other cultures.
