The History Department offers forty different undergraduate courses each year. A combination of lecture classes and limited-enrollment seminars, History courses cover two thousand years of human experience in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The faculty approach these areas from a variety of disciplinary perspectives: cultural, economic, environmental, ethnic, gender, intellectual, labor, political, social, and urban history. The History faculty is committed to undergraduate teaching; History exceeds all other Princeton departments in the number of its faculty who have received Princeton's President's Award for Distinguished Teaching.
The History Department has structured its undergraduate concentration both to encourage breadth of knowledge and to allow concentrators to focus their studies on what most interests them. Concentrators must take at least one course in each of four areas: American, European, Non-Western, and Pre-Modern history. By the senior year, undergraduates in the History Department will have selected a field of concentration. Fields of concentration include Africa; Ancient Greece and Rome; East Asia; Europe; Latin America; Middle Ages; Russia; United Kingdom; United States; Science and Technology; Women and Gender; and War, Revolution, and the State.
