To study human history is to understand how past events have impacted today s society, and to know the guiding principles that could decide our future. Studying yesterday, analyzing today, and considering the possibilities for tomorrow are the tasks undertaken by students who choose to explore history, whether as an academic major, minor, or elective. The History Program includes a variety of courses that encompass the immense scope of human civilization. From ancient civilizations to more recent occurences, such as the American Civil Rights movement and the Viet Nam War, students explore the events, people, and societies that have shaped our world.
Classes are small.
Most have between 10 and 20 students. Interaction is encouraged, by both students and professors, through purposeful discussion of historical events and whose interpretations of why and how these events have impacted our society.
