The department encourages students to pursue imaginative, relevant, and inspired approaches to the national and global past. Students gain vital skills in writing, critical thinking, and the evaluation of information.
The Krieger School classifies history as both a social scientific and humanistic discipline. This accords very well with the wide range of explanatory and interpretive approaches to the past that now prevail in the discipline of history. One of the history program’s goals is to introduce students to these varied approaches. Although the department offers strong preparation for students who seek to specialize in a particular cultural or geographic region, history at Johns Hopkins is primarily issue and topic oriented. It also puts a premium on developing the capacity to reason comparatively and on deepening the student’s understanding of global connections among cultures in the past and in contemporary life.
