History
Study the stories of the past, and you’ll better understand the present—and be more adequately prepared for the future. As a history major at Northwestern, you’ll learn about people: where they’ve been, what they’ve done, how they think, and who they’ve influenced.
Northwestern’s history department offers these study options:
Faculty
Northwestern’s history professors are active scholars and relational mentors. Their doors—and even their homes—will be open to you and other students who think the past is a blast.
Study off campus
Northwestern offers history majors numerous internship and study abroad opportunities—from museum or public policy study in Chicago or Washington, D.C., to exploring ancient cultures in China or Egypt.
