ranging, chronologically, from the medieval periods to the present 
(ancient history is taught at the University of Vermont through the 
classics department). Vermont faculty have authored, co-authored, or 
edited more than a hundred books and written many articles, essays, 
reviews, and newspaper editorials. Many of these research endeavors have
 been recognized nationally and internationally with awards from the 
National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned

 passion for research carries over into all classroom experiences at the
 University of Vermont. As a result of diverse faculty interests, 
students are able to take courses on a wide variety of topics including 
(to mention but a few areas) global environmental history, the history 
of the Himalayas, the history of film, the history of slavery, and the 
history of sexuality. Students are also able to concentrate on virtually
 any area of the world as a result of the geographical breadth of 
faculty expertise, which covers all of North and South America, Europe

 the University of Vermont, history courses range in format from larger 
lecture classes to smaller, research-intensive seminars. Each class

complex issues in a sophisticated and well-informed manner. All students
 who major in history at the University of Vermont, leave the program 
with impeccable research skills developed through specialized courses on
 historical methods and senior seminars that privilege the production of
 a significant essay based on primary research. Students who excel in 
the study of history at the University of Vermont are invited to write a

 addition to acquiring in-depth historical knowledge, students at the 
University of Vermont leave the history program with a range of 
important skills including the ability to synthesize large bodies of 
material, conduct research and think historically, craft arguments and 
substantiate claims with evidence, and write sophisticated prose. 
History majors at the University of Vermont end up pursuing a variety of
 career opportunities. While some go on to graduate school and pursue 
academic positions in universities and colleges, others teach at the 
secondary level, study law, pursue museum or historic preservation work,
 enter the business world, or engage in non-profit work. In short, the 
history degree at the University of Vermont both provides a significant 
and rewarding intellectual challenge for students and prepares them 
broadly for a range of future professional opportunities.</font>
