The International History program extends far beyond examining official state interactions—the conventional focus of diplomatic history—to explore aspects of social, cultural, and intellectual history. Mirroring the interdisciplinary nature of modern historical research, majors incorporate concepts and information from diverse fields including anthropology, philosophy, sociology, political science, religious studies, and literature, as evidenced in the program's curriculum. This major equips students to comprehend the historical forces shaping our modern world and its continuous transformation. Through comparative analysis of past and present societies and cultures, the program aims to broaden students' understanding of human experiences while honing their research skills, evidence evaluation, and ability to present well-reasoned arguments both verbally and in writing.
