The History Department at Waynesburg is multi-dimensional and globally oriented. The History program is designed to inspire you to think analytically, to read critically, to research accurately, and to write professionally. Our faculty and staff prepare History students to be productive citizens and successful graduate students.

You may choose from an array of classes that are region specific (Russian and African History), period based (Colonial  and Vietnam Way History), and thematic (Women’s History and the History of Minorities). Many students tailor their education to their social interests by selecting an exciting and challenging independent study course.
