Courses

Whatever your interests – whether it be American or European, global or local, ancient or modern – the History Department has a course for you! Every semester, we offer an array of introductory and upper-division courses that reflect the chronological, geographical, and thematic range of faculty expertise. These wide-ranging course offerings give you the ability to broaden your perspective on the past and explore topics that speak to your own individual interests.
