At Stetson, the history faculty helps students learn how to find, evaluate, and interpret information about what people have done in the past and why. They work closely with students to enhance their skills in research, evaluation of data, critical thinking, and written and oral communication.
Classroom instruction is the most important activity for teachers in the Department of History. Two members of the history faculty have received Stetson's highest faculty honor, the McEniry Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Research, which keeps a teacher up-to-date in the field, is essential for history professors. Department members are active in research and publishing in their specialties. All professors in the department have the doctor of philosophy degre, and they regularly participate in the national meetings of their respective professional associations.
