History Major: Military History Emphasis
Trinity's Military History emphasis in the History Major is a unique offering among the nation's Christian Colleges. Trinity can provide a major that will enhance your understanding of Military History unlike any major in the Chicago area.
Every class incorporates history simulations which place students in realistic command roles designed to test personal character and develop an appreciation for the complexities of making decisions with the information at hand. Each course also explores Christian perspectives on warfare for the appropriate period. The program provides an excellent background for those entering military service in a leadership capacity or for the student interested in a deeper understanding of humanity in the crucible of war.
