Look to the Past There has never been a US college devoted exclusively to the study of history -- until now. The American College of History and Legal Studies, founded last year, is expected to open in Salem, New Hampshire, in August (pending approval by that state's Legislature). Designed to be an affordable option (tuition is $10,000) for those who have an interest in history and might want to go on to law school, the no-frills college will offer only junior and senior coursework and cater to community college graduates and transfers from four-year schools. If enrolled students go on to meet certain criteria, acceptance at Massachusetts School of Law is guaranteed.
