History is one of the most popular and respected departments in Binghamton University’s Harpur College of Arts and Sciences. The History Department offers a wide variety of courses taught by some of Binghamton University's top faculty, attracting thousands of students every year. Our global curriculum, award-winning faculty, and flexible major and minor offer both depth and breadth in academic training for our students. We encourage students to explore, taking full advantage of the Undergraduate Advising office along the way.
The Undergraduate Advising Office of the History Department helps students plan a major or minor, arrange for transfer credits, correct any problems in how History courses appear on transcripts and DARS reports, strategize post-graduate life, and ensure timely completion of the major or minor. We can also offer advice if you need academic assistance. We encourage students to visit during scheduled advising hours (see below) throughout the academic year. No appointment is required. Students who wish to schedule an appointment should contact our Undergraduate Assistant, Josh Canale: uhistory@binghamton.edu or 607-777-6716.
If you plan to study abroad or complete honors work, please consult the Undergraduate Advising Office as soon as possible. Make us a part of your planning process.
