Welcome to the Baruch College History Department. We are proud of our excellent record of serving as the home for some of the nation’s best research and teaching in our discipline. Our department is a space where we create collaborations and connections that foster critical inquiry, open dialogue, and a deeper understanding of the past and how the past shapes the present. Our faculty and our students understand the intellectual value of history but are also firm believers in the need to use our knowledge to create a positive impact in our communities. Finally, we are proud of our department’s commitment to inclusion in our curriculum and our scholarship.

I hope that this website serves as a resource to learn about student and faculty accomplishments, department events, and our curricular offerings. As you will see, the history department is a dynamic place where historical knowledge and history itself are created every day.
