Dear Students, Colleagues, Alumni, and Friends:
Welcome to Monmouth University’s Department of History and Anthropology. The department is one of Monmouth University’s foundational and most vibrant departments. We offer undergraduate degrees in history and anthropology and dual degrees with the School of Education as well as a history and political science double major. At the graduate level we have master’s degrees each in history and anthropology as well as certificates in archaeology and geographic information systems (GIS). The department also offers minors in African diaspora studies, anthropology, archaeology, geography, geographic information systems, history, philosophy, philosophy and religious studies, public history, race and ethnic studies, and religious studies. For more information about our graduate programs, contact Veronica Davidov, Ph.D., director of the M.A. program in anthropology, or Melissa Brzycki, Ph.D. director of the M.A. program in history. Our department has a stellar faculty, well-known as both teachers and scholars. Three of our professors have won Monmouth University’s Distinguished Teacher Award.
We are also particularly proud of our students. Many of them have gone on to careers in teaching, law, museum studies, cultural resource management, forensics, government service, law enforcement, and many other fields. Others have pursued further graduate level education either at Monmouth or at other distinguished institutions. For more information about our alumni, please see our Alumni News.
Beyond the classroom, the department offers students numerous academic, professional, and social opportunities. In addition to the History and Anthropology Club, which regularly takes field trips to local sites pertinent to our fields, the department is home to Monmouth University’s chapters of Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honor Society and Lambda Alpha, the National Anthropological Honor Society.
Please contact me with specific questions about the department or if you need more information. Thanks for your interest in the Department of History and Anthropology.
Sincerely,
Maryanne Rhett
