The Ferris State University historians engage their students in critical discussions about the past with the goals of creating a broader understanding of the human experience, building conscientious citizens of the world, and inspiring lifelong learning. Students enrolled in the history program prepare themselves for careers in education, libraries and archives, government, park service, and other
research-related fields. Many graduates go on to graduate school to study history, law, education and business. The Ferris State University History Programs page is sponsored by the History program faculty. The administrators of this page are:
