Welcome to the History
Department's Undergraduate Program.
The 37 permanent faculty and distinguished visiting faculty of the Department
of History offer between 125 and 150 undergraduate courses every academic
year in social, cultural, political, economic, and intellectual history.
While most of the Department's offerings are grouped under geographic
rubrics (United States, Europe, Latin America, East Asia, Africa, Near
East), majors can choose either a geographic or a thematic field of
emphasis (History of Science; History of Gender and Sexuality; History
of Race, Ethnicity, and Migration; and History of War, Revolution, and
Social Change). We hope that this site will familiarize interested undergraduates
with our program and provide information that will address the questions
of current and prospective students. You are also encouraged to contact
the Department by phone or e-mail with queries.
