History Department

History is the study of past human experiences grounded on the conviction that these share an essential continuity with our present and future. Through the careful reading of documents and historical inter¬pretations, students are trained to see themselves and their world as entities proceeding in time and formed by what has gone before. It is the goal of the department to undertake activities in teaching, research, and extension work designed to develop expertise in Philippine history as a primary area, and Western and Asian history as secondary areas.
