Students in the History program engage with a broad range of historical sources to develop an understanding of the complexities of the past as well as our own role in its interpretation.
Studying History at New College
Students engage the past as a living, breathing reality that holds meaning and the potential for clues to understanding contemporary life. Course offerings in history are deep and wide, covering U.S. history, early modern and modern European history, Asian history, and Latin American history. Many history classes are taught in a small seminar format, and students join with their teachers as explorers of the past through detection, discovery, theoretical considerations, and integration of coursework. History students also take advantage of a variety of academic and professional internships in fields like museum studies, archival and historic preservation, teaching, and heritage studies as well as research assistantships and the biannual Medieval & Renaissance Conference.
