classes that I wanted to take than I had time"
The Department of History offers a flexible
concentration
program and a focused minor in history. Our eighty faculty
members are notable for their
commitment to teaching and to developing stimulating
new courses. The scope of their expertise is reflected in the diverse range of courses offered each year, from small seminars to large lectures. History is easy to integrate into
an interdisciplinary plan of study and many courses
are designed from this perspective.
We invite you to explore our website, meet with
an advisor, visit faculty office hours, stop by
the main office in 1029 Tisch Hall, or elect an
interesting history class to find out why history
students have enthusiastic comments to make about
their department.
Concentration advising appointments can be scheduled
through our on-line
scheduling website. The staff Undergraduate
Coordinator, Kathy Evaldson, also welcomes your questions
by email,
phone (734-674-6209) or drop-in (Monday through
Thursday 8:30-3:30 except during scheduled
advising hours).
