UDM’s Department of History serves the diverse needs of undergraduate students with programs of study tailored to meet their individual goals and interests.

Our mission is to provide a solid grounding in modern global and American history and to develop students’ skills in research, writing, and analytical thinking in order to prepare them for a variety of career paths, including teaching, graduate study, law, government service, and many areas of public history.

In addition to the traditional History curriculum, undergraduate majors are encouraged to enrich their understanding of the past through internships, study abroad, involvement in Phi Alpha Theta/History Club, and other relevant activities.

Part of the uniqueness of the department is the fact that it hosts two significant research archives: the Black Abolitionist Archives and the Carney Latin American Solidarity Archive. Students are encouraged to make use of these resources, both by gaining practical experience in the archives and by using them in their research for courses.
