program description

history is the ongoing effort to understand the diverse people, institutions, and cultures of the past. historical inquiry builds knowledge of past events and in doing so helps inform the decisions we make about our future. at wsu tri-cities, faculty specialize in many areas of historical research and teaching, including american west, religious, gender, race and culture, political, military, and diplomatic history.

the history department faculty are fully engaged both in research (they have published several books and numerous journal articles) and in the classroom.  members of the department work closely with the hanford history project,  which is a great place for history students to enjoy hands-on learning as part of a history internship.  learn to read deeply, think about issues critically and write arguments persuasively.
