Program Description

The Department of History offers a wide variety of courses on the United States, Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, from ancient and medieval times to the 21st century. Students acquire skills in critical analysis and communication crucial for professional success, as well as the knowledge they need as citizens. History majors pursue successful careers in many fields including business, education, law, and politics.

As a student of history, you will learn to unearth new stories from new perspectives and challenge received wisdom. The past (our origin) is intrinsically fascinating, but it matters to society in ways that go far beyond its interest to us as individuals.
