As the collective memory of society, history informs us of the intense human struggles that shaped our past. In doing so, it enriches our understanding of the present. History reveals a diversity of human experience that is worth pondering for its own sake. The belief that educated individuals and civilized societies respect this diversity guides the teaching of our faculty.
Students in history build a strong foundation of global history and take a deeper look at particular periods and places, such as Greco-Roman history, East Asian history, or American history. Our students also avail themselves of the rich resources available in Chicago including the Field Museum and the Chicago History Museum among many others.
