Although a small department, we offer basic and advanced courses and seminars in US, European, Asian, African and Latin American history, and are especially proud of our offerings in transnational and comparative history. We require a course in historiography (the study of the writing of history), and stress historiographical problems in our electives. Believing that no single methodology provides the "right" answer in historical investigation, we offer courses in political, social, and cultural history, including the history of ideas, religions, and gender, and consider such diverse issues as slavery, the meaning of cultural "renaissance," the conflicts of the Middle East, and the course and consequences of the Vietnam War. Our history majors are an inquisitive and motivated group who go on to careers in teaching, law, archival management, and public service. Our graduate students, often intent on a career in teaching, benefit from a training that is both broad and rigorous. You are welcome to join them!
