About the Department
Welcome!
The History Department at the University of Cincinnati is a vibrant community of about twenty permanent faculty members, two hundred undergraduate majors, and forty graduate students. Our professors are engaged in a wide range of activities including teaching, research, and service in the profession of history and in various forms of public outreach both in Cincinnati as well as throughout the surrounding region. Our courses cover all periods in the past and span the globe, from the Ohio Valley and North America to Latin America, Europe, India, China, Russia, and the Middle East. And our students explore the past through a kaleidoscope of subjects – from the history of fashion to military, environmental, and business history, women’s history, and the history of religion, culture, and politics.
Take a moment to explore the Department to find out more about what our faculty and students are up to. We think you’ll agree that History has a lot to offer!
