History students benefit from a broad foundation in the Western heritage and depth in American and modern European history (1450-present). Students are prepared to master the art, literature, languages and even business of the West. They are also better prepared to understand and to solve the world's social problems.

Averett's History Department regularly sponsors study trips abroad to round out a student's educational experience.
Students who major in history find career opportunities in:

• Business
• Education (with fulfillment of teacher licensure requirements)
• Government
• Law school or graduate school
