The history website was redesigned as part of the Academic Website Project, which strives to enhance academic websites for use in recruitment efforts.

Key features of the newly designed website include the following:

• Clearly breaks down different programs, including teacher education options
  Students studying history have many career options; the teacher education options are now clearly delineated and outlined.
  
• Promotes student opportunities
  This department offers several ways for students to get involved outside the classroom, from History Day to essay contests. All of these options are outlined within the new site.
