History

Description

Degree options:

• Geographical areas - United States historyMore than 30 specialized courses ranging from the colonial era to contemporary times give students a sense of our society’s past and the skills to evaluate historical data. Course topics include African-American history, the American West and Native American histories, in addition to traditional courses on the American Revolution, Jacksonian America, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and the history of the United States in the 20th century.
• European history - Specialists in European history give instruction in topics as diverse as medieval religion and politics, the Reformation, the history of France, the cultural-intellectual history of Europe, and Russian civilization and Soviet studies. Those interested in international studies may supplement their course work in history with a secondary major consisting of interdisciplinary course work.
• Non-Western history - In an era of global interdependence, a familiarity with world regions beyond Europe and the United States is crucial. Offerings include history of East Asian civilization, the civilization of South Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, China since 1644 and the history of Japan.

Thematic fields:

• Military history - The American Civil War, World War I, World War II, the history of war and society, and the history of American military affairs are among the many offerings in this strong specialization. Military history and the study of technology mesh in courses that focus on the history of military organization, while themes such as military thought, logistics and the role of political institutions in the conduct of war and foreign relations receive major attention.
• Agricultural and environmental history - Farmers have changed the ecology of the earth dramatically. The evolution of K-State is part of this larger story. Course topics in this specialization include American agricultural history, American environmental history,world environmental history, Kansas history,and American Indians and the environment. Students enrolled in the natural resources and environmental sciences secondary major will be interested in this emphasis, as well as those interested in the history of science.
• Religious history - Religion has played a significant role in human history, and many courses devote significant attention to it. The department offers courses on the history of Christianity, religion in American history, religion and science, death and dying, and the history of the occult and witchcraft.
• History of gender and ethnicity - Recent developments in the historical investigation of gender roles are represented in our courses on women in history. Similarly, considerations of race and ethnicity figure prominently in courses such as the history of the American South, Native American history and the attempted destruction of the European Jews and other peoples in the Holocaust. Several history courses count toward the major in women’s studies and the major in American ethnic studies.
• Social history - Historians pay much attention to the history of common people and the structure of everyday life in past eras. Courses on cultural history, the social history of sport and religion in society typify this creative thrust in the department’s offerings.
• History of science - History of science and history of medicine courses explore the interactions between science and society. Although most people realize science has had a major impact on recent history, there is less understanding of how culture has influenced science.Departmental courses in this field demonstrate that science has not developed independently from cultural and social values, but rather has been dependent upon them.
