History

Description

The curriculum includes courses exploring human history from numerous places and perspectives with special offerings in Asian history, Latin American history, gender studies, and American Indian history.

Students enjoy exceptionally close interaction with faculty. Our largest course is capped at 60 students; many upper-division courses are limited to between 15 and 25 students.

Morris students are part of the University of Minnesota system, benefiting from access to the resources of a top research institution. Few liberal arts colleges can make this claim.

The student-designed senior research project and coursework emphasizing analysis of primary and secondary sources, comprehensive problem solving, and effective communication skills, make a Morris graduate a strong competitor in the job market.

The Morris campus is home to the West Central Historical Research Center, a repository of unique historical documents and artifacts covering western Minnesota and the surrounding area. Students may investigate both the items in this collection and the process of maintaining a professional historical archive.

The curriculum emphasizes the role of the student as an active learner and encourages individualized learning experiences, including those outside of established coursework, and the development of close working relationships between students and faculty.
