The
thirty-five members of the Department of History at Boston University comprise a
group of professional historians and teachers of history who are dedicated to
the pursuit of knowledge and the education of students. We are convinced that
the study of the past not only prepares students for understanding the present
but also enables them to acquire valuable skills that are applicable to many
careers. The ability to criticize, organize, and synthesize extensive materials
and to write with clarity and precision are important qualities for success
in a variety of jobs not directly related to history. While this department has a national and international
reputation in the field of historical scholarship, its faculty is equally committed
to teaching and addressing the academic concerns of students. For undergraduates the department
offers a broad range of courses and study options covering American, European,
African, East Asian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American history. Our graduate
program is particularly strong in three areas: American, European, and African
history. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about
the department.
