The History Department is now located in 105 Park Hall.
History exposes students to people, places and times they would otherwise not experience. Through the study of history students learn how the actions of the past have shaped today’s society and may inform the future.
Our courses stress the importance of disciplined methods of inquiry and interpretation, as well as empathy and imagination, and are taught by widely published scholars and seasoned historians. Students may choose to specialize their curriculum in United States, World, African, European, Latin American, or Asian History. Furthermore, courses taught by our faculty support numerous programs on campus including American Studies, Global and International Studies, Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Gender and Women’s Studies, Africa and African-American Studies, and Native American Studies.
