"As a student from northern central Illinois, Eastern first grabbed my attention because it was close to home, but what really made me stay was the care and depth seen in our history department. Our department teaches many important historical skills, whether it is to be used as a social studies teacher, museum curator, or historical society worker. The world of K-12 education can be daunting, but the HIS-TL major makes it simple to learn teaching methods, educational processes, and all the other 'imposing' aspects of becoming an educator."
