History and World Languages & Cultures

What better place to study history than in the city that gave birth to both the Confederacy and the Civil Rights Movement?

AUM's history program will give you insight into the world and the forces and events that helped shape it.  You will gain information about the past, learn to analyze and evaluate that information, and communicate your findings in an intelligent and persuasive manner.  You will also learn from one of the most academically accomplished history faculties in the Southeast--every full-time faculty member has published at leas one book in his or her field, and all are extremely active in the profession.

Both History and World Languages & Cultures share AUM's commitment to internationalization.  Only those who learn about the interconnections among the peoples of the world will be truly prepared for life a rapidly changing global environment.  The Department of History and World Languages & Cultures will give students skills and a foundation of knowledge that will distinguish them as educated and critical thinkers throughout their careers.
