A group of Alfred University history students and two faculty members of the Human Studies Division of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences returned recently from a trip to Ottawa, Canada, that included not only a tour of the Canadian Parliament but a sampling of Canadian food including "beaver tails" - Canadian for fried dough. Included were visits to Canada's Museum of History and War Museum. AU History faculty strive to expose majors and minors to history's influence on the present through local, regional, and international site visits.

Small classes enable you to become well acquainted with professors and peers, and engage within lively discussion. New courses are offered as “Special Topics” courses to address current events, recent scholarship, and students’ evolving interests. Additionally, you have the opportunity to construct independent study courses and senior thesis projects that provide a well-rounded educational experience.
