Welcome to the History Department at the University of Texas at San Antonio, home to 25 full-time faculty and over 300 history majors!
Our faculty consists of frontline research scholars exploring subjects in all parts of the world from the U.S. and Latin America to the Atlantic world, the Indian Ocean, and beyond. Our teaching programs feature a team of innovative, award-winning professors grounded in advanced pedagogies and committed to student success. In addition to our popular History B.A. that introduces students to the fun and rigor of learning and practicing history, the department offers a social studies concentration for students seeking teaching certification. We also offer a History M.A., one of the largest and most robust graduate programs in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts, where a significant number of students receive funding, including the department’s prestigious Nau scholarships. I encourage you to explore these pages to learn more about us and about the world of history unfolding before our eyes.
We appreciate your interest in the Department of History and extend our warmest welcome to you from the Department.
The leadership of the History Department represents a collection of conscientious faculty who work as a team to provide the best educational experience for students while representing the vision of the department to the administration at large. Each role serves a different function, but together they meet the needs of our diverse student and faculty body.
The students and alumni of the U.T.S.A. Department of History accomplish so much both while in the program and when they leave. Every student leaves a lasting imprint on our program and our pride in these incredible individuals spans beyond their time with us. Check out just a few examples of our incredible current students and our amazing alumni!
