Artifacts, antiques, and ancient documents are just a few of the things history students will study at Mid-Plains Community College.
They will read the works of published historians, examine the history that occurred within a selected time, location or event and see how bygone days often hold the key to the future.
Mastering history allows students to become well-rounded individuals with a better understanding of cultures and trends.
