探索 the Breadth of Human Experience

Here at DU, history majors and minors examine civilizations across time and space. 通过课程, community-engaged learning opportunities, 出国留学, 实习和研究项目, students examine how historical forces construct our world—and how the past continues to shape the future.

"Working through the senior capstone project has been the most rigorous but ultimately the most rewarding experience of my educational career. I have had the unique opportunity to wrestle with one topic for over a year and to watch my project change (for the better) on a near-daily basis."
