History traditionally has stood at the heart of Dartmouth's emphasis on the liberal arts. Our curriculum—broadly international in its reach and deep in its chronological perspective—serves to prepare society's future citizens and leaders to understand the world in which they live, its historical development and inter-relatedness. History helps students appreciate their place within that world, and hence something about who they are and what makes them tick. Not surprisingly, History achieves special relevance during periods of global crisis and uncertainty, as young people grapple with the confusing and troubling events of the day.
