Description
The Department of History offers a full range of courses and programs in the fields of American, British and European, East and South Asian, Latin American, Russian and Soviet, and Ottoman and Middle Eastern history. It offers exceptionally strong training in the fields of environmental history, science, technology and medicine, as well as women’s and gender history. While concentrating on the history of one nation or geographic area, students are encouraged to develop a comparative or global perspective in their work. To facilitate this, the department cooperates closely with a wide variety of interdisciplinary programs and departments to offer students additional instruction in comparative and world history perspectives.
