history

History is being made every hour, every day. Its fascinating processes, ideas, and legacies must be studied to fully understand how and why the world is the way it is.

The Clements Department of History provides a stimulating environment in which you can gain analytical and communication skills that solidly prepare you for a wide variety of career paths. Courses range from the introductory-level surveys to intensive seminars in specific areas. You can expect frequent reading, writing, and research assignments integrated with training on how to formulate cohesive arguments. History faculty members have consistently been honored with teaching awards for their enthusiasm and interaction with students, as well as national recognition work.

The department is home to the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies.
