Venue description

The department offers a major and a general minor, as well as special minors in American, European, and non-Western history. They provide the students with a variety of courses encompassing a broad spectrum of subjects on various levels. The faculty of the Department of History approaches the study of the past as a humane discipline, investigating, from various points of view, the ways in which people around the world and in many different eras have ordered their lives. To that end, they assist the students in developing the skills of the historian: the ability to conduct research in primary sources, to pose thoughtful questions of historical evidence, to develop their own hypotheses regarding the past, to communicate their ideas both orally and in written form.
