Course overview

The option to pursue the History program at University of Virginia offers students the opportunity to explore a theme of particular interest within their History major. Current Concentrations include

Capitalism and Economic Life: This pathway explores the processes, practices, institutions, and ideologies that have shaped human economic activity across space and time. It does not limit itself to the quantitative study of the past, but takes a more holistic approach to questions of production, exchange, and consumption over the course of human history.
Environment, Space and Society: People shape their history as they engage with the natural world and the built environment. This pathway investigates how they move through space, understand it, and attempt to influence it. It centers on environmental history, the history of landscape and material culture, and the politics of spatial control, among other perspectives.
Global and Transnational History: The Global and Transnational History pathway provides students an opportunity to examine the global dimensions of historical problems, both through examining the origins of interconnections between geographic regions and tracing the emergence of international and transnational cultures and religions, social networks, economic patterns, and political movements and institutions across time and space.
Law and Society; Race, Ethnicity, and Empire: The Law and Society pathway draws on UVA’s unusual strengths in legal history across many fields in the United States and around the globe, and from the ancient world to the modern. Students have the opportunity to explore law’s history in institutional settings—the work of legal professionals, courts, and legislative bodies, and at the national and international level—and to explore more informal modes of legal life.
War, Violence, and Society: The Race, Ethnicity and Empire Pathway encompasses the long temporal arc and shifting geographical scope of imperial formations, as well as the contingent constructions and reconstructions of racial and ethnic formations.

The new major gives students a broad background in a range of historical places and periods, while allowing them the flexibility to pursue their own interests.
