History matters at Willamette. As a student in our program, you’ll weave together the knowledge of diverse human experiences to contextualize the present and develop your ideas about the future.
You’ll explore the world in-depth: History at Willamette is much more than names and dates. Learn about democracy and citizenship in the Ancient Mediterranean, religion and gender in the Middle East, immigration and ethnicity in the United States, the environment in East Asia, the intellectual traditions of Europe, and many other subjects. Dedicated professors will teach you not only how to learn from the past but to write new histories for the present day.
Make the globe your classroom by participating in Willamette’s study abroad program or focus on the world at home by pursuing internship opportunities at local museums, archives, and community nonprofits. No matter your interests, we’ll prepare you with the skills and the vision to make a difference.
