Program Overview

The history major teaches students research, analytical, writing, and presentation skills that can be applied to any career. Programs in the History Department offer the student understanding in the scholarly discipline of history through the expansion of historical knowledge, the comprehension of historiography, and the practice of critical inquiry. Framing the questions that define particular scholarly debates underlies critical analysis of primary and secondary sources. Students gain exposure to these questions in course work and demonstrate their familiarity with them in discussions, written work, and presentations. Through the department's skills-based curriculum, history majors learn how to think and write like historians. History faculty teach students to think contextually, analyze historical documents, and become better researchers and writers. The Department offers majors and minors in history with options for emphasis in United States, Latin American, European, Eastern European, African and Asian History.

Public History

Students participating in the Public History specialization learn how to take the professional practice of history into a variety of career settings. Students in the program combine the study of history with coursework in allied skill sets, such as historic preservation, digital history, exhibit curation, museum-based education, journalism, documentary film production, and entrepreneurship. History coursework is paired with opportunities for hands-on professional training through internships and other forms of community engagement. The specialization can be combined with another minor to enhance career-specific training.
