About
the UB History Department
History, a vital part of any liberal arts education, is an exploration
of how people have lived, thought, and tried to make sense of their
worlds. It is cross-cultural and multi-dimensional, addressing the
breadth of human experience and uncovering patterns that are essential
in situating ourselves in the present and preparing ourselves for
the future. The History Department at UB offers a wide array of
courses and stresses the development of research, writing and communication
skills vital for many different careers. History graduates are well
prepared to apply to professional schools and work in numerous fields,
including business, law, government, journalism, librarianship,
museum management, and teaching at all levels. In truth, the critical
thinking and writing skills that are the hallmark of training in
history are assets in almost any line of work. The study of history
also equips people to understand their own lives in a larger context
and to participate effectively in public life.
