The History Department is a diverse group of scholars covering many areas of specialization. We pride ourselves on outstanding teaching. We offer small classes that allow a great deal of individual attention. The History major is a place to get a “small college” education in a big state university.

The department of thirty professors has about two hundred fifty majors in three undergraduate programs—the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Arts with a Teacher Education Concentration, the Bachelor of Arts with a Legal History Concentration, and the Bachelor of Sciences. All programs offer a great deal of student choice in courses and electives, allowing the pursuit of either a broad educational experience or a focused study.

Our 80 student graduate program offers three distinct degrees: the M.A. in History, the M.A. in Public History, and the Ph.D. in Public History . However, all three degree programs require a strong foundation in traditional history.

The Department of History invites applications for two professional track faculty instructors in the following areas: US Military History and History Methods and Writing. We anticipate hiring two faculty members on full-time appointments. Initial contracts will be for three semesters, with the possibility for contract renewal and extension on three-year terms.

US Military History: The successful candidate will teach undergraduate courses in U.S. Military History. This will include courses titled The World at War, American Military History, U.S. Naval History, plus possible offerings in 20th Century US military history and history of warfare, based on qualifications. These courses draw students from across campus as well as History majors and minors.

History Methods and Writing: The successful candidate will teach History Methods and Writing, a sophomore-year seminar required for all History majors. It includes locating and interpreting sources, the varieties of historical writing, and the craft of writing for a research paper. Students exiting the course should be prepared for advanced work in upper-division
