The History faculty strives to make outstanding scholarly contributions to the discipline and to instill historical knowledge, perspective on human experience, critical thinking skills, and effective writing in all our graduate and undergraduate students. We are also a community of citizens engaged in service and devoted to the enrichment of intellectual and public life at the University, throughout Utah, and beyond.

History is a record of the political, social, economic, and cultural events, lives, and achievements of humankind. Historians analyze and evaluate this record in an attempt to understand the past and interpret the present. The History Department offers comprehensiveness and breadth in the undergraduate program as well as possibilities for research specialization at the Masters and Doctoral levels.

Undergraduate Program

All prospective history majors and minors must declare with the Department Academic Advisor. History majors and minors should prepare their course of study with the approval of the Department Academic Advisor, preferably at the start of each semester and especially in the term the student receives the Graduation Summary Report from the Registrar's Office.

Scholarships
The History Department offers scholarships annually to continuing and entering students. The deadline for submission for all scholarship materials is the third Friday in February. Applications are available through the department's website (www.history.utah.edu).
