The Department

The Department of History offers a 40-unit BA in history, with emphases in world history, European history, and the history of the Americas, in addition to courses with regional and thematic approaches. The department also offers an MA in history, with separate thesis and comprehensive exam tracks. Students graduate with discipline-specific skills, including communication, critical thinking, and cultural competencies, which have clear value in a multi-cultural professional world, and which contribute to the building of better local and global communities.

Departmental alumni pursue careers in fields that include law, government, teaching, journalism, business, academia, museum curatorship, librarianship, and the non‑profit sector, with some continuing their historical studies at the PhD level.

Faculty members in the department are active researchers and writers, who seek ways for their scholarship to inform their classroom activities and their university and community outreach, including museum curatorship and oral‑historical source generation. As one of the very first history departments in the United States to embrace world history, the department is distinguished by a longstanding commitment to diversity among its faculty members and in their scholarly interests and approaches.

Teach HIST 252:
History of the United States Since 1865, a lower‑division survey course examining major political, social, economic, and cultural developments in U.S. history from the end of Reconstruction to the present. Instruction will introduce students to key themes such as industrialization, race and citizenship, immigration, reform movements, war and foreign policy, the expansion of federal power, social inequality, and debates over democracy and national identity.

The course fulfills General Education requirements and is expected to emphasize foundational historical skills, including critical reading of primary and secondary sources, analytical writing, and the ability to situate historical developments within broader national and global contexts.
