The Department of History at UNCW is committed to robust service and regional engagement, high quality research, and innovative teaching delivered by faculty in classes where the teaching relationship is personal. We see history as central to the liberal arts tradition, and we take seriously our responsibility to bring the value of thinking historically to our students, to UNCW, and to the wider community.
