History seeks to develop insight into a particular period of past human experience, whether revolutions in France, China, or Russia; civil wars in England or the United States; colonial encounters of Africans and Native Americans with Europeans in the Americas; migrations of men and women among continents; or the evolution of social classes in different societies.

The methodological approaches explored in our courses range from traditional avenues of political, economic, military, and intellectual history to the newer fields of labor, social, oral, or comparative history.

What baffles many is why anyone would fork over $160,000 plus,
for degrees in this stuff. Unless of course it is only pocket change
to your parents. The Great basketball may partly justify the expenditure.
