Wisconsin Lutheran College

What you'll study

Students study traditional geographic and thematic areas of history with attention to evidence-based argument and independent research. Coursework trains you to evaluate sources critically, to construct well-documented arguments from primary and secondary materials, and to interpret historical developments in ways that connect to contemporary issues. Faculty scholarship and classroom activities inform course content.
