   HISTORY

The Department of History encourages students to learn about peoples, institutions and ideas of the past, to think critically, and to write and speak clearly. By limiting lecture courses to 20-25 students and seminars to 12-15 we facilitate close interaction between faculty and students, insure that the faculty give detailed attention to extensive student writing, and encourage optimal participation within the classroom. The Department offers both survey and advanced courses in American, Latin American, European, African and Asian history.
