Department Description

The faculty of the Department of History believe history is an essential component of a liberal arts education. As an important part of the curriculum, historical study enables the student to understand the interaction of many aspects of state, society and culture, and the dynamics of human change. It offers a valuable perspective on contemporary problems as well as knowledge of the past for its own inherent interest.

  • American History
  • Ancient, Medieval and Modern European History

  • Urban and Social History
  • The History of Science
  • Asian and Middle Eastern History
  • Judaic Studies
  • Religious Studies
  • Women's Studies
  • Black Studies
The department is also vitally involved in interdisciplinary courses and programs.
