Overview

While concentrating on the history of one nation or geographic area, our students are encouraged to develop a comparative or global perspective in their work and may work in thematic areas such as the history of science, medicine and technology; global history; imperialism; and women, gender and sexuality.

At Binghamton University we cooperate closely with a host of interdisciplinary programs and departments to offer students additional instruction in comparative and world history perspectives.
