By studying History at USM you become familiar with the past, the forces of change, and the varieties of historical scholarship that examine cultures and events across all times and places. As you discover and organize facts, analyze evidence, and apply theory, you'll become a more engaged citizen by applying historical knowledge to contemporary social issues. You'll learn to create meaningful explanations and narratives that support a well-rounded understanding of past human activity and its impact on the world of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Because of our diverse faculty and wide range of courses, you can specialize your studies in a number of different areas or choose a education pathway leading to teacher certification.
