Get to Know Us and Help Make History
The Columbia University
Department of History is one of the leading centers of historical scholarship
in the world. Our growing faculty, together with colleagues in the Barnard
College Department of History and historians in other departments of the
University, study all aspects of human history, from ancient to contemporary
societies, across the entire globe. Our community includes each year around 200
graduate students and 250 undergraduate majors and concentrators. Our
department has always possessed particular strengths in the history of North
America, Eastern and Western Europe, and East Asia, and in recent years it has
become a leader in the field of International and Global History and History of
Science.
