elcome to the Department of History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies at Montana State University. The Department is committed to offering undergraduates five major options in history and two in philosophy, as well as a variety of teaching and non-teaching minors. Among the history options is a new one in religious studies. In the heart of Yellowstone country, the Department facilitates student exploration of the American west, U.S. history, environmental history, and the history of science and technology. The Department also provides a gateway to areas beyond Yellowstone country, with courses of advanced study related to South Asia, East Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the ancient world. Internships at historical societies, museums, and Yellowstone are also an important part of the educational experience. The Department contributes to the University Core curriculum by offering popular courses in Contemporary Issues in Science, Humanities, Diversity, and Research and Creative Experience. Graduate students can pursue innovative MA and PhD degrees in the history of science and technology, environmental history, and the history of Montana and the American west. At all levels of the curriculum, the Department provides students with the tools to think rigorously, to research and thereby generate knowledge empirically, and to articulate their thoughts coherently. For these reasons, the Department’s programs are among the most sought-after majors in the College of Letters and Science and even across campus.
