UMass Boston's Department of History in the College of Liberal Arts delves into the lives, cultures, debates, and controversies of the past, allowing us to understand our world today. Through our programs, we cultivate critical thinking, equip you to construct historical narratives, and hone your persuasive argumentation skills. The study of history enriches your private life, empowers you to make informed decisions in the public sphere, and prepares you for careers in law, politics, teaching, journalism, and other fields that demand strong reasoning and writing abilities.
