The Department of History offers courses in Ancient, Medieval and Modern European history, including Russian history; in both North and Latin American history; and in the history of East Asia. Several members of the faculty specialize in the U.S. experience. Some of the department's courses are chronological, some national or regional and some are thematic. The faculty is committed to continuous review and revision of the department curriculum, as student and professional needs and emphases shift. Many departmental courses meet general education requirements, and various programs for majors and non-majors are available.

The department offers an honors program for qualified seniors. Honors programs are individually arranged through consultation and advisement, and completion of an honors thesis is required.
