Description:​​The Department of History provides a personalized student experience within a collegial learning community dedicated to creativity, innovation, and excellence in teaching, research and scholarly activities.

To understand the past is to be able to place yourself in those contexts, to understand and think critically about the world, to empathize. Our program supports the formation of citizens as whole people. Indeed, this could be taken as the summation of our role. Learning in our department provides skills and a critically-informed perspective on society at large that is essential for an active and involved life in the twenty-first century.

Students can choose to include optional certificates in their degree as well including: (1) The Study of Societies in Transition: Reciprocity, Relationship, and Reconciliation and (2) The Study of State Violence (War, Atrocity, and Genocide), among others.

For those students who are interested in pursing graduate studies we offer an Orientation to the Masters of Art in History (OMAH) program. This program allows you to gain admissions into the undergraduate History program while also securing you a place in the MA History program. Students will be able to achieve both their BA and their MA in 5 years.

This program is eligible to be paired with our concurrent education option for students interested in earning their BA and BEd.
