History


Connecting the past with the present
Nothing prepares students for the future like a glimpse back into the past, which makes the History Program the perfect place to hone your skills in research, critical thinking and writing.
Why Is History Important?
Our mission is to teach students about the past and about the discipline of history as an integral part of a complete liberal arts education for citizens in our complex, culturally diverse, and increasingly global society.
