WELCOME TO THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT
The History Department at Southern Connecticut State University is proud to offer its students a comprehensive curriculum that will provide them with an understanding of the many forces at play in creating our modern world. The department offers both a B.A. in history and a B.S. in history with secondary teaching certification, as well as the M.A. and M.S degrees. Our 18 full-time faculty members are committed teachers and nationally-recognized researchers whose broad expertise allows students to gain an understanding of American, European, and non-Western history.
History classes not only teach students the basic flow of past events, but they also help students to analyze complex -- sometimes contradictory -- evidence, to recognize bias in both contemporary and historical sources, and to understand how history is constructed. These skills enable our graduates to pursue a variety of careers that require sophisticated research and analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to present well-written arguments.
