Humanities and Communication
Historical Studies
This concentration provides students the opportunity to engage in the interdisciplinary study of the past, including social, political, cultural, and ethnic histories as well as also how different kinds of communities frame, interpret, and engage with the past. With a firm grounding in humanities-based research methods, including oral history, and the close study of a variety of historical time periods and contexts, students develop skills in oral and written communication, historical thinking and analysis, and engagement of history in community contexts.
