History
History is the discipline that studies peoples and cultures through the passage of time from the earliest human civilizations to the present. It is concerned with how societies develop and change over time and with the causes and effects of those changes. Individual historians usually specialize in one area of the world, one period of time and/or one type of human activity. As a discipline, however, history encompasses all aspects of human behavior and institutions. It utilizes knowledge, methods and concepts from disciplines throughout the social sciences and the humanities and provides context and understanding that support research and teaching throughout the liberal arts.
