The Department of History has granted degrees for over a century, having awarded its first Ph.D. in 1883. One of the original departments in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the department has traditionally stressed the integration of history as a field bridging the social sciences and humanities. Thus, interdisciplinary fields are available to students in such fields as American studies, humanities, classical and medieval studies, and comparative history in Latin American and South Asian studies.
The major emphasis in any field is on the development of skills necessary to pursue original research.
