At Colorado State University, we explore historical inquiries and analyze evidence to uncover past events and their causes. Our approach to historical study encourages moving beyond preconceptions about different cultures, allowing us to gain insights from every historical period, including contemporary times.
The History Major and Minor programs at CSU provide comprehensive courses covering global human history, along with unique aspects tied to our legacy as Colorado's Morrill Act land-grant institution. We pioneered graduate public history education and now offer undergraduate specializations in Digital and Public History, General History, Language Studies, and Social Studies Teaching.
History graduates pursue diverse career paths including public history roles in museums, archives, and government agencies focused on preservation and cultural resource management. They serve in educational institutions as teachers and administrators, contribute to public service, and pursue advanced degrees across various disciplines. Our internship opportunities for academic credit help students investigate their historical interests across these professional domains.
