Bachelor of arts in history in University of maryland college park

As a consequence of the variety of subjects we study, we often have little in common as far as method or viewpoint. We are convinced nonetheless that there is a method in this very diverse madness. We learn from one another, and thus our variety of approaches is a great strength.We do not study the past to illuminate the present, or to predict the future, but to train our minds to be better able to react to the challenges of the present. As historians, we are not nostalgic about the past, but we do find it an infinitely fascinating reservoir of dilemmas, wisdom, and folly. So have a look around our webpages, and read some of our faculty bios. Then, you ll see just how diverse and rich a place College Park s history department is.
