Mission Statement:
The History program trains undergraduates in historical research methods, critical analysis of the historical record, and effective written and oral communication. Our students gain experience in archival research, library research, and oral history interviewing. They learn to make arguments and communicate effectively about the past to a variety of audiences in written and oral form. These skills prepare students for diverse career fields such as education, law, consulting, and much more. The program readies graduates for a dynamic future by promoting interdisciplinary research, digital research and publishing tools, experiential learning, and global perspectives. We strive to be inclusive and accessible to everyone with curiosity about the past.
