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
or 200), 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.
