The History Department offers courses leading toward a B.A., as well as an M.A. degree.
American history is represented in the largest percentage of courses taught.
History library materials are also collected to support many university programs. Within the Humanities Program, the introductory courses rely heavily on history materials. Researchers from all departments of the university use history materials for the historical perspective of their study, research, and writings in many other subject areas. A large percentage of the history collection is used by patrons outside the discipline. History of Science materials are used for the Humanities Program concentration and for the faculty research and graduate programs of the Center for Science and Technology Studies, as well as for History Department courses.
