-Regional Pathways-

• Mediterranean and Middle East

  Ancient Mediterranean History offers students the exciting opportunity to explore the diverse and vibrant cultures of ancient Europe, north Africa, and southwest Asia and the connection of their histories to contemporary global challenges. Prominent themes in these courses include: gender, race and ethnicity, urbanism, warfare and society, religion and authority, and archaeology. Think of it as “Greece, Rome, and more.” Interdisciplinary courses complementary to Ancient Mediterranean history are offered in the UCR Classical Studies and Comparative Ancient Civilizations Programs, including faculty from Comparative Literature and Languages, Religion, Art History, and Philosophy. Students pursuing the Ancient Mediterranean History pathway are encouraged to satisfy their foreign language requirement with either ancient Greek or Latin. Students are also encouraged to study abroad in the Mediterranean during their undergraduate career. Professor Salzman regularly leads UCR study abroad programs to Rome, as does Professor Graninger to Athens. UCR maintains strong institutional relationships with the American Academy in Rome and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, two flagship American Overseas Research Centers that offer study programs and research opportunities for undergraduates.

  The study of the Middle East will provide students with a deeper understanding of the history and civilizations, as well as social, political and economic developments in the region from the medieval to the modern periods. Students will gain a critical perspective as well as a multidisciplinary and comparative approach to the history of a very diverse yet critical part of the world that was always in contact with Asian as well as western European and Mediterranean cultures. We will explore themes like gender and Islam, urban history, literature and cinema as well as the rise and fall of empires, colonialism and revolution. Courses in the history of the Middle East provide a survey of the history of the Middle East from the medieval to the modern periods (HIST 121 & 122) as well as specialized and thematic courses on gender, urban history, revolution and nationalism in Iran and Iran through literature and cinema. Students are advised to take the survey courses prior to taking specialized courses and HIST 197. The program of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies ( www.meis.ucr.edu) also offers a wide variety of courses ( as well as minor and major)  on the Middle East and the Islamic world that students can take ( 2 courses). In addition, we offer two years of Arabic on campus. Students can also take study abroad courses in the Middle East (Turkey, Jordan, etc.) that will count toward their degree. Please consult with your faculty advisor before applying to these programs.

• Europe

  European history seeks to understand the emergence of distinctive social and cultural formations in Europe, and their place in larger global processes of transformation. Starting from post-Classical societies largely oriented to Mediterranean civilizations, it traces how political, social, religious and intellectual revolutions, the formation and erosion of empires, colonial and imperial expansion outside Europe, regional and world wars, and economic development from early agrarian and commercial societies through rapid industrialization to the digital age transformed the European region and the world. We attend to the environmental, demographic and economic conditions that shaped underlying  early modern and modern European society, and examine cultural, political, and intellectual developments and challenges forms as they changed. Among other themes, we consider the historical experience of individuals, the emergence of a middle class , the shift from an aristocratic system of privilege to class-based mass societies and the transformation of gendered roles. This pathway may help to prepare students for careers in teaching, public service, non-government organizations (NGOs), international business and law. Students interested in the history of Europe are encouraged to pursue internship opportunities through the UCDC program. Numerous museums in the Southern California area have excellent European art, architecture and history collections (for example, the Getty Center, the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust and the Wende Museum.) Students may also be interested in combining their History major with a minor in the departments/programs listed below. Students are highly encouraged to pursue study of a language relevant to your interests.

• United States/ North America

  The History Department at UCR offers a pathway on the history and politics of the United States. We emphasize the interdisciplinary study of history and culture, national identity, and the construction of local, indigenous, borderland, and diasporic communities, beginning before the constitution of the U.S. as a nation and continuing through the present. This pathway may help prepare students for careers in law, teaching, social services, community organizing, planning, and public policy as well as in the culture and communications industries (e.g., film, TV, advertising, journalism, social media, and marketing). The UCDC and UC Sacramento programs offer a chance to encounter US history and politics in person, through courses and internships. In addition, undergraduates have frequent opportunities to participate in public history projects through HIST 198G and HIST 198I.

  Asia history explores the histories of regions in East, Southeast Asia, and Inner Asia (culture, societies, ecologies, exchanges among these regions). Asian diasporic history explores the histories of the migration of Asian peoples from their homelands to other Asian regions and other continents (the Americas, Europe, Africa, Australia). This pathway may help to prepare students for careers in teaching and research (e.g., history and public history (museums, etc.), public service (federal, state, and local governments, non-government organizations (NGOs)), (international) business and law. Students interested in the history of Asia and Asian diasporas are encouraged to pursue policy internship opportunities through the UCDC and UC Sacramento programs.

-Thematic Pathways-

• Race, Gender, Sexuality

  This thematic field focuses on the roles that race, gender, and sexuality played in history as they shaped personal identities, social institutions, economic structures, and political movements. It explores in particular the experiences and struggles of oppressed minorities and marginalized groups -- egs. African Americans, Native Americans, women, LGBTQ people. The history department offers a broad range of courses in these areas that allow for studying the topic in different time periods and regional areas - the U.S., Africa, Europe, Latin America, etc. This pathway also fits very well with the strong course offerings in other CHASS departments. Ethnic Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Media and Cultural Studies, and English offer courses that thematicize race, gender, and sexuality. Ethnic Studies and Gender and Sexuality Studies, in particular, offer lower-division, introductory courses on the topics. This field requires no foreign language or study abroad, but a student interested in studying outside the U.S. could find programs that would fit with a chosen geographical focus. The field is excellent preparation for jobs requiring reading, writing, analytical thought. It is of particular value to students seeking work in socially engaged areas dealing with current events. Possible professions include teaching, social work, counseling, law, government, non-profits.

• History of Politics, Government, Law & War

  This pathway is thematically broad and inclusive. At the core, it consists of the following components. Politics mean practices pursued by individuals, groups, and institutions, so as to affect collective, very large-scale decisions and exercise of power. In that sense, politics intersects with government, but also considers all kinds of other agents, along a range of relationships with the government. Government means any specific arrangement(s) by which a given, large-scale human community is ruled. Law, war, and (related to them) conflict, all have more specific and straightforward meanings. As parts of this pathway, they can be discerned through the titles of the relevant courses. One common, unifying theme shared by the subjects comprising this pathway is power—precisely understood, academically studied, and therefore "teachable" in a wide range of meanings or manifestations. In addition to further study of history at the graduate level (and potentially a career in teaching: K–12, and beyond), courses in this pathway may prepare students to consider careers in law (JD or other specialized law-school degrees, paralegal studies, or law enforcement), politics and/or government (including international relations), and in a range of partly voluntary, partly paid work (themselves "pathways" to other outcomes), such as the Peace Corps, Teach for America, or Non-Governmental Organizations.

• History of Science, Technology, Environment & Medicine

  Explore global histories of knowledges, technologies, and environments. Analyze relationships between humans, other living beings and changing natural and built environments, from cities to deserts. Consider the roles of technology, medicine and science in the histories of empire, gender, race, class and capitalism. Understand how relationships between science and society impacted places, periods and peoples. As science and technology appear increasingly central to modern political life, this pathway offers a historical perspective. This pathway may help to prepare students for careers in medicine, science policy, public health, urban planning, teaching, sustainability and environmental policy. Students interested in science policy and history are encouraged to pursue policy internship opportunities through the UCDC and UC Sacramento programs. Students may also be interested in combining their History major with either the Medical Humanities minor or the Speculative Fiction and Cultures of Science (SFCS) undergraduate minor.

• Urban, Social and Economic History

  Students in this pathway analyze the growth of cities and their role in history; the role of people, businesses and other social (rather than governmental) institutions in history; economic change and development over time. Urban and social history use mostly textual evidence as their primary source, although they can rely, as economic history often does, on statistical and numerical data, patterns and analysis. This pathway may be related to work in urban planning, data analysis (if supplemented by quantitative methods courses,) GIS mapping, local government and public policy. Students in this pathway are encouraged to take relevant courses in Economics, Sociology and Public Policy. Students are highly encouraged to visit the UCR Geospatial Resources Lab in Rivera Library, and seek out maps and geospatial resources through the UCR Library. Students interested in urban history may also benefit from architectural history courses in the Department of Art History.

• Cultural & Public History

  Culture shapes and transforms individual and collective experiences, everyday life, social relations, and power. Cultural and public historians explore how communities and individuals forge identities, communicate their values, and address conflict, by interpreting human expression in forms including visual and material culture, texts and objects from archives, the built and natural environment, and popular culture (ads, movies, music, food, social media, and more).  Study how urban, religious, indigenous, ethnic and other communities understood themselves and interacted across boundaries of class, states, race, religion, and gender.  Develop ways to gather historical evidence through oral history, community archiving, digital humanities, and more. Innovate tools to preserve and communicate history with and for diverse audiences at sites beyond the university, such as museums, libraries, performance spaces, historic sites, or the digital realm. This pathway may help prepare students for careers in preservation, museums, libraries and archives, historic sites and parks, as well as in the culture and communications industries (e.g., film, TV, advertising, journalism, social media, marketing), law, teaching, social services, community organizing, planning, and public policy.

• Empire, Colonialism & Indigenous History

  The Pathway in the study of Empire, Colonialism, and Indigenous peoples may encompass a great deal of world history and influences of one group on “others.” Students may concentrate on one or more regions or peoples to learn the broad spectrum or investigate the topic narrowly. Students will explore human actions, interactions, and reactions when cultures meet. Courses may be wide ranging, focusing on empires from the Americas to Europe, and Africa to Asia as well as the Middle East. This pathway will expand your ability to think critically about imperialism, expansionism, and colonialism. It will prepare you to analyze historical events and apply your course of study to contemporary events. Our department and college offers an array of courses by and about colonialism and indigenous peoples around the world and at different periods of human history. Working with the advisor, you will be able to explore an array of courses germane to topics related to empire, colonialism, and indigenous peoples. Students following this pathway may seek employment in government, including the foreign service, or hone your skills to become well informed teachers, museum curators, archivists or attorneys. Our students have found employment with tribal, city, county, state, and federal governments. This Pathway also supports students interested in writing, acting, public programming, film-making, and media production. Students are encouraged to take internships and courses in anthropology, art history, dance, and music. Our students may wish to participate in programs away from our campus through internships, education abroad, and UC/DC where students may interface with Smithsonian Museums, State Department, Congress, National Archives, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. This pathway is open to all students with an interest in the historical significance of Empire, Colonialism, and Indigenous Peoples of the World.
