Program Highlights
Program requirements
Historical education broadens students’ perspectives because it covers people and places far removed from their own experiences. Courses explore world history, United States history, African American history, Native American history, Indigenous Peoples in the Atlantic World, the Islamic Near East, and East Asia.
