RPI's international faculty will teach students how to read, research and write history well—and help them gain skills that will be useful in any profession. History studies human activity and its meaning from the earliest times to the present, exploring different dimensions of human interactions, including politics, economics, religion, culture and ecology. Sharpen analytical and critical skills and learn to ask good questions, to understand situations from several vantage points, to cultivate humility, and to understand and appreciate other times, people, and cultures.
The history department offers four tracks leading to a bachelor of arts degree in history: the Standard Track provides a comprehensive introduction to historical study with considerable chronological and geographical breadth; the Graduate Track is intended for those particularly interested in pursuing graduate work in history and adds foreign language study to the Standard Track; the International Studies Track allows for geographical specialization in historical study and requires a semester abroad in the student’s region of choice; and the Secondary Education Track prepares students with the appropriate historical and social scientific content to teach at the secondary level.
