Area of Conentration (A.o.C) in Applied History - History and Business Program Description |
Mount St. Mary's University's Department of History proposes a new concentration in Applied History to provide our students with expanded opportunities for innovative academic investigations and potential career pathways while retaining a fundamental grounding in historical scholarship. The goal of the new program is to incorporate the traditional focus areas of Applied History (archival research, museum studies, preservation, public history, etc.) with the modern tools of the historian's craft. <br> <br>History and Business: This concentration track will focus on the application of historical research methodologies, tools and technologies in business analysis and decision making. This innovative, interdisciplinary framework will prepare students for <br>professional work in international business, business analytics, information and knowledge management, and historical consulting by interweaving historical methodologies with a foundation in modern business practices. |
