Students engage in internships, research, fieldwork, and study abroad opportunities. Whether you venture into the workforce or attend graduate school, our programs prepare you for your future.

You can major or minor in History, Anthropology, or Classics. Don’t want to be limited to one area of study? Our department offers combined History/Anthropology and History/Classics majors as well as majors that partner with Political Science, Religion, and Psychology. We also offer interdisciplinary minors in Museum Studies, Asian Studies, and Geography and Global Societies.
