About the Department of History

The Department of History offers programs of study for both undergraduates and graduates. We are committed to teaching and scholarship and to intellectual rigor in the context of close attention to students' needs and interests.

We offer internship, seminar, and honors thesis opportunities to our undergraduate students; a series of distinguished outside speakers; symposia and workshops to address graduate students' research, teaching, and career concerns; and a Department lounge near our offices in Rush Rhees Library where we gather as a community.
