"There is nothing new in the world, except the history you do not know."

Harry S. Truman

Our students begin with coursework focused on the histories of western civilizations and the United States, honing fundamental skills such as source analysis and the creation of evidence-based analytical arguments. They build on that foundation by taking a variety of courses in US, European, and world history to demonstrate a breadth of understanding about how historical processes can be evaluated in varying geographic and chronological contexts.
