Introduction
History serves the University community by providing general education and core curriculum courses in history, geography, philosophy, and religion. The aim is to give students an understanding and appreciation of the evolution and characteristics of world civilizations, cultures, and philosophies. The Department of Political Science and History prepares history majors for graduate work and for professional study, including law school, as well as employment in the private and public sectors. Courses emphasize not only mastery of specific subjects, but also of historiography and historical research.
Student Study Abroad Opportunities
The curricula of History majors are structured to encourage and support study-abroad opportunities. Whether students choose faculty-led travel, prestigious international scholarships, or established educational companies that facilitate their study abroad ambitions, the department works closely with Hampton University’s International Office to ensure student safety and academic rigor. Students interested in studying abroad must meet with their departmental advisor and the department chairperson as soon as possible to help ensure that the date, extent, and content of the study abroad experience work in harmony with the student’s required curriculum in the major. Failure to plan appropriately or to achieve academic proficiency while studying abroad can delay graduation.
