History and Geography
The History and Geography Department at NKU provides two essential fields of study that give us a better understanding of the world we live in.
History provides an insight into significant events that shaped society and had an lasting impact on the human condition. Although few students become professional historians, the study of history provides a solid foundation for careers in government, law, education, business and many more.
Geography is a social science dealing with the impact people have on the world's environment. It's a liberal arts degree that can open the door to several careers. Our graduates have gone into advanced studies in park management, urban planning, meteorology and medicine.
