History isn't just looking at and memorizing past events. It's about truly delving into and understanding those events—what inspired and caused them and drove the people involved—so that we can better understand who we are today and where we are going.
Lincoln University offers Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees in History, as well as a minor.

As you work, you'll develop essential research, critical thinking, and communication skills that will be an asset in a wide range of jobs.
