Department Chair,
Dr. Gene Moehring With over 25 faculty members, the History Department offers more than a hundred undergraduate classes as well as graduate coursework at the M.A. and Ph.D. levels. Each semester, several thousand students enroll in our courses to satisfy their foreign culture, humanities, constitutions, and other requirements. For those wanting to major or minor in History, we offer coursework in four areas: Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the United States. |

Students have the opportunity to learn from faculty trained at many of America's leading universities. All of our professors enjoy national and even international reputations in their fields of specialization. Our professors have won more than 25 college and university awards for teaching and research excellence. The History Department is one of the few departments at UNLV that is committed to having all of its courses, including those at the survey-level, taught by our regular faculty. As a result, freshmen and sophomores can study with the same excellent teachers as our most advanced graduate students. Over the past decade, the faculty has worked with UNLV's administration to secure nearly $1 million in funding to purchase microfilm and other collections for the Lied Library to promote student research. These items include an extensive collection of eighteenth-century pamphlets and newspapers in digital and micro-film formats, as well as nineteenth and twentieth-century newspapers and magazines also in microfilm and electronic format, U.S. government records concerning Indians, the environment, the Cold War, the West, immigration, race, gender, and other topics in American and World intellectual and cultural history. Our graduates have gone on to careers in a wide variety of professions. This website not only describes careers for history majors, but also includes valuable information regarding history courses, faculty requirements, assessment, library resources, and other subjects of interest.
