Bachelor [History] From New Mexico State University

As part of the College of Arts and Sciences, our department is comprised of 10 full-time faculty, and offers excellent undergraduate and graduate programs in a number of geographic and thematic areas.  Our faculty have earned national and international recognition for their scholarship, and are equally committed to teaching diverse students about our world.

Within the sphere of the land-grant mission of the university, the Department of History helps students to realize their intellectual capabilities by teaching a humanistic process of rational inquiry. By teaching students about their own national history and the histories of other peoples, we help them to develop critical self-awareness, and a larger, cultural awareness. Historical knowledge is crucial to understanding the complexity of international and global issues. Finally, historical study promotes understanding of various systems of belief and values, and appreciation for the rich and varied traditions of humankind.
