Explore the World. Understand the Past. Shape the Future.
In the Department of History and Political Science, you won’t just study the past or politics, you’ll actively engage with them. Our programs blend rigorous academics with real-world relevance, preparing you for leadership, service, and impact.
From undergraduate research to national conference presentations, you’ll gain hands-on experience that builds confidence and sharpens critical thinking. Many students present their work at academic conferences and some even publish alongside faculty.
Our curriculum strengthens your writing, speaking, ethical reasoning, and global awareness. You'll explore how the past informs the present, engage in bold discussions, and study timely topics like voting rights and global civil rights movements.
With study abroad opportunities and a strong mentoring culture, we offer an education that goes beyond the classroom. Whether your path leads to law, public service, education, or research, we’re here to help you get there, with purpose and passion.
