历史学家追溯其学科的起源到古希腊学者希罗多德（Herodotus）（公元前五世纪），历史学家检查了人类过去的记录，目的是了解随着时间的变化。我们对建立社会，政治，经济，文化，身份和思想的发展模式中的因果关系特别感兴趣。传统上，历史学家会检查政治，战争，外交，经济学和智力活动中的杰出人物或重大事件。但是在最近的几十年中，历史研究的范围已经扩大到涵盖各种各样的现象和社会的广泛领域。妇女在历史上的角色，过去普通男女的日常生活以及帝国主义和殖民主义的影响只是近年来受到严格历史审查的几个主题。当前这一代历史学家特别
Tracing the origins of their discipline to the Ancient Greek scholar Herodotus (fifth century B.C.E.), historians examine the records of the human past, with the goal of understanding change over time. We are particularly interested in establishing cause and effect in the patterns of how society, politics, economies, culture, identity, and thought developed. Traditionally, historians have examined prominent individuals or critical events in politics, warfare, diplomacy, economics and intellectual activity. But in recent decades, the scope of historical study has expanded to encompass a wide range of phenomena and a broad spectrum of society. Women's roles in history, the daily life of ordinary men and women in the past, and the impact of imperialism and colonialism are just a few of the topics that have come under intense historical scrutiny in recent years. Of particular interest to the current generation of historians are the relationship of the individual to society, encounters between diverse cultures, the dynamics of class, race, and gender, and the expression of power and authority (political, social, or cultural).<br> <br>The study of history has direct relevance on the present. It provides an enlightening perspective on the cultures and societies of the past and on how the ideals, institutions, and issues of today arose and evolved over time. The discipline of History also requires intellectual rigour, and cultivates critical thinking, creative analysis, and both oral and written communication skills. History majors are highly sought after in fields such as law, education, journalism, business, government service, and ''public history'' (i.e., museums, historical sites, and archives). A History major is also an ideal foundation for graduate study in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
