| Baylor University |
|   |     This spring held exciting events for the Department of History at Baylor University! March 5th marked the 250th anniversary of the "Boston Massacre," and to commemorate that historic incident, History and Law School students performed a reenactment of the trials that occurred after this momentous event to determine what really happened that night. Members of our Phi Alpha Theta chapter also presented excellent history papers at a regional conference, and our faculty are working on exciting research.   The Department of History offers a history major and minor, a master's degree, and a doctoral degree. Our opportunities are abundant. With small class sizes, the Department of History fosters a positive learning environment by encouraging intellectual exchange and cooperative relationships. Students can take courses on China, the Vikings, India, Latin America, the Middle East, Russia, the Renaissance, the Holocaust, the History of Warfare, Hunting, Business, Religion, Women in America, the American South, the Civil War, and more. Our graduates are successfully working in a variety of fields, from secondary education to security, public relations to law, business to broadcasting, and graduate school.    |

|   |     History is one of the largest academic departments at Oberlin, and one of the most popular majors. Interdisciplinary by design, we engage our students in numerous subjects approached through a variety of methodologies to help them become astute observers, practiced researchers, and critical thinkers.   The Department of History provides students with a broad range of historical viewpoints and events, problems and approaches to the societal, cultural, political, intellectual, economic, and global challenges and developments. Rigorous coursework coupled with a research component helps our students gain deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. History graduates are among the most distinguished Oberlin alumni. They also make our department the largest undergraduate source of students for doctoral degrees in history of any liberal arts college in the country.   History faculty and affiliated faculty are accomplished teachers and scholars. Recent books from our department include; Zeinab Abul-Magd, "Militarizing the Nation: The Army, Business, and Revolution in Egypt" (Columbia University Press, 2017); Leonard V.
