Our Mission
The Department of History at 小黄片视频 proudly upholds a tradition of diversity, equity and inclusion in our teaching, supervision, research and publication. As such, we are committed to recruiting, supporting and maintaining diversity among faculty and staff, as well as students. We view diversity as including categories of race, ethnic/national origin, color, sex and sexual orientation, religion, gender identity and expression, age, family structure, socio-economic status, veteran status, and immigration status. We value diversity of thought, culture, beliefs, and expression that our diverse community provides, and seek to further empower that community by ensuring they always feel welcome, valued, respected, and heard.
Diversity is central to the examination of the human experience in the discipline of History. As such, our department advocates that diversity benefits all. No less vital is a commitment to inclusion, which we understand to mean open and critical engagement with diverse intellectual perspectives and viewpoints in the classroom and out. We encourage free expression of all perspectives, while expecting civility and respect for all. In our striving to create an inclusive and welcoming environment, hateful speech and action - sexism, racism or any form of prejudice - are not tolerated.
Looking to our future, we will further our commitment to advance inclusive excellence, diversity and equity. Whether it is in the development of new courses; the promotion of innovative, exciting scholarship that speaks to a broad audience; or our commitment to diversity and representation in departmental citizenship, we will continue to foster an environment of people, culture and belonging.
New History-to-Law School Pathway
The Department of History is excited to announce a new program to allow History majors to matriculate directly into both the University of Akron School of Law and the John Marshall School of Law at Cleveland State University. It is called a 3+3 Program.
The link below details the process of going from a Bachelor of Arts in History from KSU to a law degree at either UA or CSU. This 3+3 Pathway gives students a quicker and more efficient path to their law degree.
