The social and political history major is a research- and writing-intensive program that emphasizes the analysis of change over time and an in-depth understanding of the societies, cultures, economies, political systems and conflicts that have shaped our world.

The broad analytical, research and writing skills cultivated by the SPH major will prepare you for success in a wide variety of graduate and professional schools. Often, history graduates pursue further scholarship in law, business administration, education, public policy, urban planning, librarianship, journalism, the ministry, or social work.

This highly interdisciplinary program is jointly administered by the Department of History and the Department of Philosophy. You’ll develop a deep historical understanding of how modern-day problems have evolved, a facility with frameworks for ethical decision-making that help formulate and evaluate solutions to these problems, and a grasp of public policy needed for moving toward a better state of affairs. In addition to gaining a solid liberal arts background, EHPP majors learn how to conduct historical research, analyze and construct arguments, evaluate evidentiary statements, and find persuasive means of presenting their ideas. You’ll also conduct research under time and resource constraints, and craft policies that address real-world problems in a way that’s sensitive both to history and to competing sets of values.
