History is for everyone. Students often think that studying history is about memorizing facts and dates. While it’s important to get the facts right, studying history at Trinity emphasizes analysis and interpretation. Our curriculum is flexible and provides several paths, with no prerequisites.
Trinity’s history department is a large and welcoming community of students, faculty, and staff, not limited to History majors or minors. If you’re taking a history course, involved in a collaborative history project, or showing up for history events, we want to connect with you.
