The Department of History offers a major and three minor programs of study as well as a wide range of offerings that support the College's General Education Program. Its minors are in History, U. S. History, and European History. The faculty includes an endowed professorship filled annually by the Fulbright-Robertson Visiting Professor of British History. The Department's offerings reflect the wisdom of the adage that "He who knows only his own generation remains always a child."

Thus, the spirit and purpose shaping the study of history at Westminster rests on the belief that the critical study of what men and women have thought and done in the past, whether in the Old World or the New, disciplines the mind for wise action, frees it from the narrow perspective of the present, and leads to self-knowledge.
