History Education

History Education puts you on the path to shaping minds and building a better future. As a history educator, you will do more than teach dates and events. You will inspire students to think critically, question sources, and understand how the past shapes the present.

History is the foundation of knowledge and civic understanding. In your classes, you will learn how to evaluate the reliability of information and guide your students to do the same.

Now more than ever, we need passionate, informed history teachers who can bring the past to life and prepare the next generation to lead with wisdom and perspective. If you are ready to make a difference, Culver-Stockton is ready to help you start that journey.

At C-SC, history doesn’t just happen in books. You live it. Our faculty use innovative, interactive teaching methods like the acclaimed “Reacting to the Past” role-playing games, where you step into the shoes of historical figures and shape the outcome of world-changing events.

Recent simulations have included The Constitutional Convention of 1787, Henry VII and the Reformation Parliament, Athens at the Threshold of Democracy (403 B.C.E.), Kentucky, 1861: Loyalty, State, and Nation, and Greenwich Village, 1913: Suffrage, Labor, and the New Woman. You don’t just study history. You make it!

Our faculty bring specialized expertise in women’s and military history, African American and environmental history, the Crusades, and Middle Eastern studies, offering you a rich and dynamic perspective on the past, and the tools to inspire the future.
