  • Demonstrate broad based historical literacy.
  • Develop both inquiry and narrative based approaches to understanding the past.
  • Recognize the provisional nature of historical knowledge, the disciplinary preference for complexity, and the comfort with ambiguity that the study of History requires.
  • Demonstrate familiarity with a range of tools and techniques historians use to analyze the historical record which accounts for its complexity, incompleteness, and its often contradictory nature.
