The quality of their faculty is the most important reason to study history at UM-Flint. They’re scholars who are engaged in research, but they come to UM-Flint because they love teaching and helping students succeed.  As a history major, one has a faculty mentor with whom they can discuss selecting classes, internship opportunities, career possibilities, graduate school, and more.
