History
The study of history at Springfield College is designed to provide students with a basic body of historical and related knowledge which will enable them to better understand the world they inhabit, the problems of their society, and their own lives.
Another major goal of the history program is to assist students in developing analytical, problem-solving, research, and writing skills. Careers in government service, law, business, and teaching readily follow the training of those who major in this discipline.
For more information about the history major, contact Professor Herbert Zettl of the Social Science Department at (413) 748-3646 or the Admissions Office at (800) 343-1257. Click here to learn more about the program.
