History

The goal of the History Department is to introduce students to the rich cultural variety of the human community, to acquaint them with the development of the major traditions underlying civilization, and to provide them with an opportunity to read history in depth. Topics studied include the recent development of societies around the globe as well as the organization and dynamics of social, economic, religious, and political institutions that shape the world today through our numerous electives.

The students learn through multimedia presentations which include the use of Smartboards and Tablets that help to spark debate and discussions around our Harkness tables. Our students progress each year through a planned curriculum focused on maximizing reading and writing levels, while developing both the critical and creative thinking skills needed to meet the challenge of collegiate academics.
