These skills have many uses  both inside and outside academia It is not a skill to be acquired or a problem to be solved
Those who pursue teaching careers  either in secondary or postgraduate education  will leave Yeshiva University with a solid foundation in all core subject areas of history  and the academic training needed to excel in graduate school We study history to understand how our world came to be what it is  and how we came to be ourselves
Come and let us share the past with you Historians rediscover and reanimate these voices and use them to construct narratives by which our present society better understands the past
Through small  interactive colloquia  instructors introduce students to the complex and often competing narratives of world history  inviting them to examine sources objectively and formulate their own conclusions as to meaning As instructors  we instill the same skillset in our students that we use ourselves  critical reasoning  intellectual curiosity  the ability to construct a viable argument from researched sources  and the confidence to defend it successfully in any forum
Specific topics include  Roman Emperors  Renaissance and Reformation  History of the Book  US Presidents  History of Piracy  Legal History  Modern Russia  Social Movements  History of the Jerusalem Temple  the Talmudic Rabbis  Medieval Jewish History  Jews in the New World  the Jewish Experience in Europe  The Holocaust  and History of Modern Israel Students trained in history are often best poised for careers in the law and public service  or any job that requires an ability to reason and a capacious understanding of the world
Through written work and lively class discussion  students acquire the ability to craft a persuasive argument and present it cogently to their peers Our department is committed to the intellectual development of every student we teach  regardless of major or career path
Advanced students may participate in graduate courses in the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies  and are invited to consider the joint BA MA program in Jewish Studies Mission Statement The Robert Beren Department of History at Yeshiva University seeks to instill each student with a comprehensive understanding of the past  both in its own context and how it informs the present
