History
We offer a wide range of stimulating and challenging courses at various levels. Our classes are small, which means that motivated students will find the kind of individual attention they’re looking for.
Our Award-winning faculty are committed to helping acquaint students not only with knowledge of past, but also to helping them cultivate fundamental skills which are essential to success in any field: historical thinking, critical analysis, research methods, as well as effective verbal and written communications skills.
