Welcome from the Chair

Dear Students:

Welcome to the Department of History at Georgia Southern University.  We invite you to join an outstanding group of students who enjoy the study of history.  Your professors are among the best teacher-scholars anywhere and offer you the opportunity to take a tremendous range of challenging courses.  

As a student-centered program, the BA in History will hone your critical thinking and analytical skills, expose you to global perspectives, and prepare you for a range of  career paths, including teaching, law, public history, government service, and graduate studies.  The MA in History provides intensive study in a range of historical subjects and offers both a thesis and non-thesis option.  Graduates of the MA program have placed well in leading PhD programs across the United States.

The Department of History is proud of its program and its students.  We welcome you and look forward to working with you to achieve your educational goals.  If you have any questions, please stop by Forest Drive #1105, call 912.478.4478, or email me a billallison@georgiasouthern.edu.
