to develop in them a historical sense. Our lively departmental culture includes scholarship
awards, a history club, internships, and active faculty participation in local, state,
regional and international academic organizations. We study history from all parts of the globe - ranging from the United States to Asia
to the Middle East. we are preparing our students for their careers in education,
politics, the law, public administration, librarianship, and many other disciplines. Students are challenged with critical reading, good writing and the analyses of historical
texts.
