History

Samford history majors are intellectually curious, and thrive in a hands-on, problem-solving environment where they become detectives in pursuit of sources and answers. By studying the past–using old ways and new–they learn to think with rigor, write with clarity, organize and assess evidence, analyze problems and interpret complex events. They tell the story of all of us–who we are and where we’ve been, what we’ve thought and said and done–so we can preserve our past and help shape our future. They become leaders in professions ranging from education to law, business to public service, historical preservation to diplomacy.
