Our mission is to provide majors and minors in history with courses, advising, and program experiences that facilitate comprehension, application, analysis and evaluation of history-based knowledge and writing. We believe that the study of history is an integral part of education at all levels and we take our responsibility to prepare students to become teachers of history themselves very seriously.

Three new faculty (including me) have joined the history department for Fall, 2007. The others are Dr. Chris Monty and Dr. Laura Talamante (see the Faculty page for more information). This significant increase in permanent faculty expresses the commitment of our university to the department and to the importance of history instruction at CSUDH.
