Of course! My answer might be a bit disappointing, though. :) I double-majored in English literature alongside of History. And although conventional grad school options were available to me, I have chosen to go through Harrison Middleton University for a couple of reasons. I work for The Center for Literary Education, and HMU both offers a Great Books focused approach, and an online program that will accommodate my travel season in the spring. I plan to specialize in Shakespearean studies. However, I have several friends who graduated with me in the history program who have ended up at Notre Dame, the University of Chicago, and even Harvard and Oxford.

Hi! I believe I might be able to answer your question. I recently graduated from Hillsdale College with a degree in History. The history faculty is suburb, and has some of the greatest minds in their field. They encourage sound thinking and open inquiry--they do not force any political agenda. I have taken classes from Dr. Richard Gamble, who you may know as the author of The Great Tradition, as well as Dr. Daryl Hart, who is another acclaimed thinker and writer in the field of American religious history. Dr. Matthew Gaetano is also one of the most brilliant up-and-coming minds in Renaissance and Reformation history. There were several times where he would hand us readings that he had just translated himself from their original languages. And there are just so many more wonderful people in that department who are just as equally accomplished and would be invaluable during the grad school application process. Several, if not a majority, of the students who graduate within the humanities go on to post graduate studies at respected schools. I myself will be doing so next fall. So, in short, I would say that Hillsdale is not just a good school for history, but might just be one of the top schools in the country in that field. :)
