Welcome Majors & Minors at Cal Poly Humboldt!

This show takes a close look at the rich academic offerings of our campus and all of the areas of study that can be pursued as a student. Each episode features an interview with a department Chair (or Chairs) and focuses on the specifics of an area of study and the value of that pursuit both inside the college experience and beyond. 

This week's guest is Sara Hart, Chair of the Department of History which is housed inside the⁠ College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences⁠. Sara is also a Lecturer of Religious Studies, Director of Humboldt's College Core program and co-host of SNAFUBAR, a military history podcast which is also in the Cal Poly Humboldt podcast network.

Listen to the show to learn all about the many approaches to history that students can pursue at Cal Poly Humboldt and all of the topics that are available to them through the wide range of professors' areas of research! And of course, we also discuss internship and job opportunities and why Sara finds value in learning and teaching history.
