  • Student Learning Outcomes

    Studying Public History at Saint Vincent College is more than just reading textbooks.

    • Ground yourself on a historic campus — including a working gristmill that provided grain for the community from its beginnings, the Foster and Muriel McCarl Coverlet Gallery and the Saint Vincent Art Gallery.
    • Learn from experts in fields ranging from medieval and Asian history to modern American history.
    • Put it into practice: Write your own history, travel to historic sites, make video documentaries, visit museums, research at the Fred Rogers Archives on campus or at other sites across the country.
