Majoring in history at Lake Forest College
Majoring in history at Lake Forest College provides access to the wealth of culture and information in and around the city of Chicago. Students benefit from the small class sizes and hands-on research, which allows them to develop strong mentor relationships with professors and be part of the robust Forester network.
