and analyze historical works with critical insight and appreciate
the range and variety of resources, as well as demonstrate
knowledge of the development and cultural diversity of their
respective areas of study. Students develop their research
skills using libraries, archives, and online sources to acquire
a sense of intellectual property and the responsibility of
presenting and interpreting historical issues. They also develop

writing and publishing, journalism, law, public relations,
business, government, and management.
