Courses offered by the Department of History have the subject code HISTORY, and are listed in the "History [HISTORY] Courses" section of this bulletin.

MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT

History courses teach the analytical, interpretive, and writing knowledge and skills necessary for understanding the connections between past and present. History is a pragmatic discipline in which the analysis of change over time involves sifting the influences and perspectives that affect the course of events, and evaluating the different forms of evidence historians exploit to make sense of them. Teaching students how to weigh these sources and convert the findings into persuasive analysis lies at the heart of the department's teaching. Graduates with a history major pursue careers and graduate study in law, public service, business, writing, education, and journalism.

DEGREES OFFERED

The Department of History offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts, coterminal Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy.
