Department of History

Department of History



At West Virginia State University, students study the past to understand the present and shape the future. The History Department is committed to the principle that the investigation of the broad and diverse panorama of the human experience over time fosters principles of freedom, reason, and tolerance in society.

Faculty hold the highest degrees from some of the nation’s most prestigious universities, and participate vigorously in professional activities in the discipline, from consulting, publishing, and public speaking, to attendance and organization of scholarly conferences.

Through its teaching, research, and community service, the Department reflects the historic mission of the University as a “Living Laboratory of Human Relations,” and is home to the Middle States African Studies Association, which sponsors an annual conference hosting scholars from around the world.
