History Department

Academics and Admissions

Our programs of study will introduce you to the various methods and approaches used by historians, and to a wide range of historical themes, eras, and societies. We offer several different courses of study—ideally coupled with courses in other areas within the humanities and social sciences, foreign languages, computer science, or public and private administration—to meet your needs.

We offer bachelor’s degrees in history, public history, pre-graduate studies, and social studies teaching. Our programs are tailored to fit your interest in the field. In addition to majors, we suggest minors that will enhance your degree, ranging from business to foreign languages. If you have already declared a major, think about picking up a history minor, or our interesting interdepartmental minor, ancient studies.

In addition, we offer a master’s program that will challenge you and expand on the knowledge you received during your undergraduate studies. Our master's program is a great foundation for doctoral work but also works well on its own.
