The study of history provides students with a perspective on events that have shaped the contemporary world. The Department of History offers an array of two hundred course offerings and many research opportunities. The courses are designed to (1) teach the student the important skills of critical reading, logical analysis, and effective essay writing, and (2) provide the student with an understanding of the historical context in which contemporary men and women have developed.

Students should begin with introductory-level courses (100), proceed to the upper-level courses that are at the center of the history major (300), and finally to the advanced courses (400), which usually require significant research. First-year students may not take 300- or 400-level courses without departmental approval.

The history major is designed to expose students to the histories of various civilizations over time and place. However, it also affords specialization in one area, time, or theme (e.g., African history, medieval Europe, or women in history) to interested students, in consultation with departmental advisers.
