History Courses

History is the study of the human past. History trains students in a critical understanding of the past, and strives to cultivate an appreciation of the enduring power and relevance of that past in the present. The discipline encompasses every dimension of human interaction, including social life, the economy, culture, thought, and politics. Students of history study individuals, groups, communities, and nations from every imaginable perspective, employing all the techniques of the humanities and social sciences to raise questions and probe for answers. History is as long ago as the most ancient civilizations, or as current as yesterday’s newspaper.
