HGS Major Program Proposal

RATIONALE:
The new baccalaureate program will speak to the multidisciplinary and integrative studies’ mission embraced by Keene State College in the early 21st century, while serving to address in substantial depth issues of discrimination, persecution, and genocide that plague a world seeking tolerance, diversity, international cooperation, and peace. While other colleges and universities offer undergraduate minors in Holocaust and genocide studies, and a few offer graduate programs—Clark University stands alone with a Ph.D.—Keene State College will be on the cutting edge as the first institution to offer an undergraduate major in this field. This should be viewed as a crucial and significant opportunity as students engaged in our minor increasingly express a desire to major in the field. The baccalaureate program will provide significant new background for young adults entering public service while, at the same time, providing a diverse and solid liberal arts education.
