History
Drew’s major in history emphasizes thinking historically about the world, the nation, the community, and the self—specializing in modern U.S., European History, and global history. Study history on the campus that houses the infamous Special Collections & University Archives, where students have access to resources in traditional and digital media. Plus, spend one extra year at Drew and obtain a Master of Arts in History through Drew’s popular Dual-Degree program with Drew’s Caspersen School of Graduate Studies.
