History

Department of History majors learn to think broadly, and they develop skills in critical analysis, research, and oral, written and digital communication. They grow as informed citizens. And they find the joy of making new discoveries and conquering great challenges. Majors may specialize in one area of history or may study a broad range of times, places and approaches to events in the past.
