Our department consists of fourteen full-time members, all of whom are recognized scholars as well as teachers.

Drawing on our own research and writing, we seek to provide perspective on the present by helping to make students aware of the habits and hopes, and the setbacks and successes of men and women around the globe, from ancient times to recent times.

We also work to strengthen students' abilities to read critically, to think analytically, and to write clearly.

The knowledge and training our students gain provide excellent background for teaching, for business, for graduate study (including the study of law), and for life as an informed citizen.

Students and others who wish to find out more about what we have to offer may follow the links on the menu to the left, or they may come to the History Department office in Room 349 of Armitage Hall.
