The Department of History offers a program leading to the Bachelor of Arts in history. The department’s objective is to develop a habit of inquiry enhancing students’ abilities to think critically and analytically, speak effectively and write coherently.
The history major examines times and cultures other than our own while fostering a sense of the interconnectedness of our world. Furthermore, it offers a perspective of the issues of our lives and times and their significance in a personal, ethical, global and multicultural framework. Finally, the discipline provides a foundation upon which we can build and strengthen those qualities which make us human.
The history curriculum is excellent preparation for careers that cross disciplinary lines and graduate programs such as history, law, library science, museology and international affairs. History graduates may teach as well as work in local, state and federal government, tourism, publications, advertising, insurance, consulting and numerous areas of business.
The History Department further administers the Interdisciplinary Studies, B.A. Anthropology Concentration and Interdisciplinary Studies, B.A. Gender and Sexuality Studies Concentration .
The History Department also offers a master’s degree in history, with concentrations in various fields within U.S. and world history.
