Welcome to the Department of History
Explore this website to learn more about us and to view our wide range of courses, which cover the globe and span the centuries from the medieval period to the present. You will also find information about our programs leading to the B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in history, as well as about our faculty, students, and upcoming events.
As a Department, we are committed to teaching and scholarship and to intellectual rigor in the context of close attention to students' needs and interests. We offer undergraduate internship, seminar and honors thesis opportunities; 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.
