History is study of the human past and how the events of that past have led to the societies we live in today. Historians explore the meaning of events that took place from the very beginnings of human civilizations through to the present day, from the lives of kings and emperors to the development of popular culture.
The Madison College history faculty is committed to bringing excellence in teaching to our classrooms, to share what we have learned ourselves and to do our best in aiding students to meet their academic goals.
