Department of History

 
Welcome to our Department  
 
History lives in the classrooms of Monmouth College!
Bringing the past to life means understanding historical causes and their effects, investigating change and continuity over time, and assessing how the past continues to shape who we are as a nation and as a world. History is a crucial part of every liberal arts education, because the study of history involves an investigation of the human condition from every continent and every era. Historical study broadens horizons, enables comparisons, and creates more informed citizens.

The Monmouth College History Department invites students to learn how to connect the present with the past. In our classrooms we emphasize critical reading for the nuances in the historical record; thoughtful and absorbing research in primary and secondary sources; and careful, clear writing. Our professors are passionate about the history they study and teach, and their enthusiasm is infectious.

Our graduates go off to many fields: all levels of education, law, public service, archival and library sciences, and any professional job that prizes the ability to conduct research, analyze data, and write well.

If you are a Monmouth College History grad, we would love to know how you are and what you are doing in order to gather alumni news for our website! Email stacy@monm.edu or any other History faculty member.
