Prepare for the future by studying the past
History unfolds daily. But without an accurate understanding of the past from a Christian worldview, current events cannot be understood properly. In PCC’s history program, students learn to analyze and interpret the past in order to understand the world-changing events of today.
Since history is a record of man’s relationship with God, PCC’s program teaches history from a true—rather than a revisionist—perspective, in line with its mission to train future Christian leaders. Students gain practical insight by studying the social, economic, and governmental threads throughout history and comparing and contrasting them with civilization today. Studying key historical figures and events equips students with abundant knowledge to solve present conflicts and problems.
The senior History Research project—an in-depth investigation of a significant historical person or event—helps students develop and refine skills in critical reading, analysis, and reporting. As they present their project before faculty and fellow classmates, students also use communication skills they develop throughout the program.
With skills to collect, comprehend, and categorize data, students are prepared for careers in teaching, advanced research, law, and even business and management, among many other options.
