- History
History, the study of the past, is a method of learning about human experience. Exploring history is a gateway to both knowledge and perspective. Without a familiarity of the past, we are unable to benefit from the experiences of those who have come before us. Students of history gain invaluable insight into the past and the present.
History students develop skills in logical reasoning, research, the marshalling of evidence, argumentation, and written and oral expression. Broadly educated graduates with these skills are well positioned for careers in a wide variety of fields - from the law and business, to teaching, public service, and the media.
Prerequisites
Some upper-level (numbered above 200) history courses have prerequisites. Students should consult the on-line course listing for course prerequisites before registering for classes.
Graduate Courses
Graduate-level courses can be arranged as needed on an individual basis. Students should consult with the Chair of the Department.
