Exploring History academically and professionally means breathing life into bygone eras. This field examines every facet of human existence, from global conflicts to pop culture phenomena, continually transforming as our understanding and viewpoints progress.
As a History scholar, you'll enjoy the freedom to follow your unique passions within the discipline while benefiting from close faculty mentorship thanks to our intimate class settings. Our curriculum offers diverse historical methodologies and equips you with critical tools to assess any subject through a historical lens. You'll investigate historical themes spanning North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and South Asia, covering areas like Indigenous Studies, Digital Archives, Ecological History, Gender Studies, Global Development, Governance History, Healthcare History, Conflict Studies, and Societal Evolution.
You can pair your History degree with programs in Literature, Francophone Studies, Philosophical Inquiry, Government Studies, Social Dynamics, Gender Studies, Nature-Based Education, or Teacher Education. Pursuing a dual major enables you to connect historical insights to specific fields and concentrate your academic journey from the outset. Additional certification opportunities exist. Students may also opt for focused tracks in Community History or Strategic Conflict Studies within their History program.
