History Programs
“History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.” – John Henrik Clarke
By offering courses in American Government, American and World History, Public Administration, and more, we challenge students to develop critical thinking, problem solving and communication skills. Our program strives to support the Southern Oregon University’s general education program, while providing advanced courses for students wishing to make History and/or Political Science the major or minor focus of their baccalaureate program.

What SOU History Students are Saying
The History faculty make a point of connecting with our small, but close-knit, department giving many students the full advantage of their attention.
The History department at SOU is a perfect fit for anyone who wants to become a historian. With its vast variety of classes to choose from, you can learn about any topic that interests you.
Even before arriving at SOU, I knew I wanted to become a high school history teacher. Once I was accepted to SOU I immediately started working towards my history degree. During my time at SOU I have become a better student, writer and person mainly because of what I have learned in the history classes and the professors teaching these courses. The history program has pushed allowed me to pursue the career I want and has better prepared me for the world that awaits me outside of college.
