We are getting ready to great all of our new graduate students in the department! This year we are also welcoming the inaugural cohort of students accepted into the Master's program in Museum Studies.

The orientation meeting is required for ALL new graduate students (in History and Museum Studies). Meet your department head, director and associate director and staff, and get to know your cohort of first year students.

Public History is the work that historians do to bring history to a wider audience. This can take place in many different settings but includes historic sites, museums, archives, libraries, and monuments. The history department is pleased to offer a new summer program in Public History in Washington D.C. which began in 2016. For information contact Akela Reason.
