Welcome to the Department of History
History is the study of change and continuity in human society over time. Historians develop skills in evaluating 
evidence, organizing information, clarifying and structuring concepts, and writing narratives and expositions. Majoring in history is an excellent way to prepare for a career in teaching, research, library and information sciences, government service, journalism, law, or business. The Department of History offers a full range of courses in American, Asian, European, Latin America, and World history.
The current chair of the History Department is Dr. Michael Halvorson. Please contact him at halvormj@plu.edu.
The webmaster for this site is Adam Cathcart. Please contact him at cathcaaj@plu.edu for information about the site.
