Introduction

Studying history helps you understand the range of human experiences: how people have lived in the past, how they live and coexist in the present, and the links between the two. As a history major, you can study a variety of time periods and places, from Greek and Roman antiquity to twentieth-century Asia. You will learn to interpret the past by examining a variety of original sources: newspapers, letters and diaries, literature, government records, images, films, oral interviews, and more.

The study of history will hone your skills in collecting, interpreting, and communicating information. It will give you a broader perspective on the contemporary world and the events that shape it.

We have faculty members who are specialists in every region of the globe, teaching and writing about military, political, social, and cultural history. Our department is internationally known for cutting-edge work on the use of technology in the study of history. Through the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, Mason has long been at the forefront of digital and public-facing history, recognizing that new technologies and methods bring together multiple voices and diverse audiences in an ever-changing world.

Because our department is one of the few in the country that is combined with art history, art is incorporated into the teaching and research of many faculty members. There are few places in the United States where history is more valued than the Washington, DC area. Its wealth of museums, historic sites, rare book libraries, archives, and government agencies offers abundant opportunities for learning, internships, and careers. The flexibility of our program allows students to incorporate experiences into their degrees such as studying abroad and research with faculty members.
