History Department
History majors at the College of New Jersey are prepared to confront
the future. They have the perspective to understand today's and
tomorrow's significant issues. They also learn how to read critically,
write effectively, and speak clearly—key skills for personal
success.
The History faculty are nationally recognized teacher-scholars, including recipients
of the Bancroft Prize, the Guggenheim Fellowship, and several National Endowment
for the Humanities Fellowships. Staffing patterns deliberately include the
world's major geographic and cultural regions, and cover both the pre-modern
and modern eras. Students develop a global perspective.
The College of New Jersey has an unusual profile for a publicly-supported undergraduate
institution. It is highly selective and primarily residential. Located in the
suburbs of Trenton, the state capital, the college enjoys easy access to New
York, Philadelphia, and Princeton.
