Department of History

History is one of the most important of the liberal arts, studies that lie at the core of a university education. The liberal arts help prepare students not merely to make a living, but also to fashion a meaningful life. The study of humanity’s past, in particular, provides the foundation for understanding the world and the necessary knowledge and wisdom to responsibly shape the future.
