Read. Write. Think. Do.

In the MTSU history department you'll find a community dedicated to good teaching, rigorous scholarship, and community service, a classroom environment that encourages critical thinking and original research, and a multitude of opportunities for hands-on experience in the study of history.

We are a history department with a strong emphasis on public history. We offer two undergraduate degrees, the B.A. in History and the B.A. in History with teacher licensure. We offer three graduate degrees, the M.A. in History, the M.A. in History with emphasis in Public History, and the Ph.D. in Public History.

We have over 400 undergraduate majors, more than 100 graduate students, many students from other disciplines pursuing the minor in history or one of the interdisciplinary minors housed in the department, and, every semester, hundreds of non-majors enrolled in history surveys to meet the general education requirement..
