Take your history studies international to connect archival research with place-based learning—analyzing how people, power, and ideas have shaped societies across time. International study immerses you in monuments, museums, archives, and contested landscapes, expanding how you evaluate primary sources, interpret material culture, and weigh competing narratives. You’ll advance in historiography, archival methods, public history, and digital humanities while tackling projects that span empire and revolution, migration and identity, science and technology, and memory and heritage. Build your portfolio through work with manuscripts and maps, site-based research, and collaborations with museums and libraries—strengthening evidence-based argumentation, historical empathy, and the ability to translate scholarship into public-facing exhibits, programs, and policy.
