History is the study of “learning from the past, understanding the present, and guiding the future” through the process of evaluating and analyzing data from the past, historical documents and determining historical facts. First, we focus on developing perception for the truth and the ability to identify problems without prejudice or bias, by the practice of delving into the primary sources and the accumulation of existing prior research. Next, we build up for the output of acquired knowledge with clear logic and objectivity, to actively participate in solving the problems posed. An extensive knowledge that transcends the time and deep understandings of society nurtured through the historical research enables our students to make a change in global society with an international perspective and a pluralistic historical approach.
Curriculum
The Department of History has two majors, “Asian and Japanese History” and “European and American History,” which are further subdivided by period: Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern, and Modern.
In the first year, students learn the basics of historical research through courses such as Introduction to the above two fields, Introduction to Transregional History and Adjacent Studies, Introduction to Historical Research, and Introductory Seminar in Historical Studies. It is also a period for finding one’s own interests in a wide range of areas.
In the second year, students are to choose the pre-seminars (History Liberal Arts Seminar and Reading Seminar) subdivided by field and period of their choice to learn specialized study methods.
From the third year, students deepen their analytical and interpretive abilities in specialized seminars under the supervision of their advisors, and in the fourth year, they produce a graduation thesis that serves as the culmination of their academic training.
