| Department of History William Cumiford, Ph. D. Leland Estes, Ph. D. James Miller, M. A. Robert Slayton, Ph. D. "I believe in memory," a great historian wrote. History is our collective memory, an understanding of our heritage, of who we are and how we came to be. The history major not only provides students with the knowledge and tools of history, but also provides a sense of roots, as well as a broader perspective on the diverse regions and peoples of the world. Training in history teaches students how to think, how to analyze different kinds of problems, and is solid training for such careers as teaching, law, business, historic preservation, or archival management. Extracurricular Opportunities In addition to an outstanding curriculum, the major in history
at Chapman offers students opportunities to work on projects associated
with the Center for Cold War Studies and the Center for Holocaust
Education. Among these projects are the well-known Cold War Symposiums
