History
Only one major can introduce you to ancient Egypt, classic Greece, medieval Europe and pre-civil war America during your journey to your degree — History. Learn how wars, economics, social and religious passions have and continue to shape the world you know today.
Explore the world
The History Department offers 30 undergraduate courses in European, Non-Western and U.S. history, plus it’s structured to encourage you to focus on what topics interest you. Curious about how the American West was born or how religion has played a part in shaping this country? Want to know more about Native Americans, the Black Experience or women’s history? Or maybe the modern Middle East or China’s rise to prominence interests you? You’ll find all the opportunities to learn in the History Department.
Enjoy small classes
As you move into upper division courses, you’ll find it easier to delve into the diverse cultural and human complexity of history in small classes led by professors with extensive knowledge.
Prepare to Work
Within the History Department, you’ll find just what you expect from your college experience — faculty members with a passion for what they teach, topics that make you think, question and debate, and a degree that gives you a solid background for a legal, professional or higher education career.
