History is a vital community of about forty permanent faculty members, five hundred majors, and one hundred graduate students. Its courses, research, and public programs cover virtually all parts of the world, and range from ancient times to the present. The Department has attained strong national and international standing for its scholarship and graduate training, an excellent reputation on campus for teaching, and extraordinary records of engagement with and support from the surrounding community. The Department of History welcomes those who wish
to join its efforts to create and communicate knowledge about the past.
Undergraduate students will appreciate the mix of fascinating courses
as well as the cultivation of skills of critical reading and writing,
researching, conceptual and historical thinking, and appreciating the
experiences of different people from diverse places and times. Graduate
students will find a distinguished, heterogeneous faculty; an increasingly
comparative approach to the past; growing levels of funding support; and
a first-rate record of placement in academic and non-academic jobs. Members
of the public will enjoy the Department’s many programs, publications,
and websites designed with the wider community in mind. |
