Undergraduate

The History Department's program is designed to provide students with knowledge of their own cultural tradition and an appreciation of other cultures and societies of the past. It promotes an appreciation of the complexity of human affairs and the difficulties involved in interpreting them. The Department offers a broad curriculum in local, national, regional, and world history which encourages history majors to develop a comparative approach to human problems.

All programs are planned in consultation with undergraduate advisors in the History Department and are subject to the advisor's approval. Students are urged to plan their programs as early as possible in their academic careers, but not later than three semesters before anticipated graduation.Faculty advisors assist with academic scheduling, explain departmental and university requirements, and provide descriptions of new and existing courses and information on career development

The Department of History sponsors the History Club and Phi Alpha Theta. It is also home to History Matters, an undergraduate history journal. Please see our News and Events page for upcoming events.
