History Department

"But History is neither watchmaking nor cabinet construction. It is an endeavor towards better understanding." Marc Bloch

Mission Statement
Our mission as History Faculty is to equip our students with the academic skill necessary to achieve their goals. To meet this aim, we teach our students to research historical topics, to analyze both primary and secondary sources, to synthesize these sources via critical thinking and thesis-driven writing, and to communicate accurately the continuity and change of historical peoples and events. Not only are we dedicated as a staff to academic rigor, but we also aspire to communicate the multicultural nature of historical peoples through thematic perspectives, which include political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, intellectual, military and global histories, and through gender and minority studies. We are a faculty who strives to meet the many needs of our diverse community.
