Harry W. Fritz, Chair
For the student in search of a broad education rather than in
training for a particular occupation, the History Department
offers an exciting program of instruction. It is designed to
provide a knowledge and understanding of the background and
ramifications of present local, national, and world affairs.
The program emphasizes understanding rather than the memorization
of names and dates. Students are taught how to read critically,
analyze thoughtfully, conduct research carefully, and write
intelligently.
Toward this end, the department offers a wide variety of courses
ranging in time, location, and subject. For those students interested
in local history there are courses on Montana, the West and
unique aspects of the frontier. Other classes stress the nature
of early American society, the American Revolution, family and
gender in America, the Civil War, and diplomacy in the Cold
War. Still others emphasize European social, cultural, and intellectual
history, European exploration, the French Revolution, Islamic
civilization, Asian history, Russian history, and African history.
Topical courses concentrate upon the European peasantry, documentary
analysis, diplomacy, war and peace, terrorism, and environmental
history.
The History Department helps to prepare men and women for many
different kinds of occupations. Graduates are employed in federal,
state or local government positions ranging from domestic to
foreign service, from senators to research analysts. Many teach
history in Montana or in other states while others pursue their
educations at advanced graduate schools earning master or doctoral
degrees. Several have been awarded Rhodes or Marshall scholarships.
Lawyers, journalists and businessmen also are trained by the
department; many combine history with political science, journalism,
or business. History provides not only a basis for the pursuit
of their chosen profession but also furnishes knowledge and
perspective for intelligent leadership of citizens in community
affairs.
