Led by 14 full-time faculty members with Ph.D. degrees earned
from leading universities of Europe and America, the St. John's
University Department of History teaches the histories of America,
Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It provides courses with
urban, ethnic, gender, geographic, international relations, local,
military, history of religion, and public history themes, and
offers an array of degree programs, including undergraduate major
and minor B. A. concentrations, M. A. and M. A. / B. A. degrees in
history, and a full interdisciplinary doctorate in Modern World
History (D. A.). The faculty's research, publishing, editorial,
consulting, and outreach activities have given it a high profile
both locally and internationally.
The History Department aims to broaden the cultural horizons and
historical perspectives of its students, while providing an array
of analytical skills. The undergraduate programs for majors and
minors are designed to develop depth of historical and
multicultural vision, as well as analytical and writing skills
useful in all walks of life. The higher degrees are excellent
preparation for professional careers in education, government,
business, law, information services, diplomacy and international
relations professions, social and community work, museum and public
outreach professions, and teaching at all levels, as well as
advanced work in academics.
