BA and MA History in Archives and Public History

They study statecraft and spycraft, magic and medicine, utopias and dystopias, slavery and revolution, imperialism and nationalism, and capitalism and its discontents. History is, after all, as rich and diverse as the human experience, and selecting from more than 50 classes per semester, most of which feature small-group discussions of fewer than 20 members our students pursue interests, develop capacities, and foster relationships that last long after they leave Washington Square.
