Welcome to Florida Atlantic University's Department of History!
The FAU Department of History includes highly recognized authors of scholarly books, essays and articles in American, European, Asian and Latin American history. Several faculty members have received teaching awards, and maintain a record of admirable service to the community and the profession. The remarkable generosity of department donors has led to the establishment of annual department symposia , which has brought top historians and history-making individuals to campus, including Daniel Ellsberg and Madeleine Albright. The Department offers programs leading to Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees, along with the history minor, and concentrations in Religious and British Studies. The Department also offers an internship program, which provides undergraduate and graduate students with opportunities to learn about careers in museums and historical societies.
Students in history courses acquire critical thinking skills that help lead to success not only in teaching and historical research, but also in a wide variety of careers, including law, medicine, business, and public service.
