Why choose History at Saint Leo

Nothing is off-limits in the study of history—from Hitler’s Third Reich and the Holocaust, to the history of rock 'n' roll in America, from Viking warrior conquests to the cultural, political and sexual revolutions of the 1960s. As a History major, you’ll learn to think critically about complex questions, adjust to new situations and articulate creative solutions to current and future problems.

At Saint Leo, you don’t simply study history—you make history. Through research, internships, travel and faculty engagement, you’ll recognize your role in the global community, and discover ways to build unity amidst vast cultural differences. Explore important ideas throughout the world from ancient times to the present, and gain new perspective on the turmoil in the Middle East or political tensions at home. Become an agent for world progress.
