iA Dialogue Between Past and Present

Studying historical events allows us to glimpse into early civilization and better understand how the past has shaped the present. History is a foundation of the social sciences and offers students the opportunity to examine human actions, ideas, and beliefs from the past through the lens and methodology of a social scientist.
