The Department of History offers three rigorous, challenging, flexible, and rewarding majors. Cadets can choose a major in American History, International History, or Military History. Cadets majoring in American History explore in depth the past of this great nation to gain an historical understanding of the United States' role in a global context. Cadets majoring in International History develop an understanding of states, peoples, cultures, and ways of life in the world outside of the United States. Cadets majoring in Military History examine the changing nature of warfare and of the military profession, and learn how these changes have influenced (and been influenced by) societies, cultures, and ideologies.
