WELCOME FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEAD

Hello and welcome to the home page for the Department of History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies at NDSU. These are exciting times for our department, as we welcome new undergraduate and graduate students for the 2009-2010 academic year and as we continue to internationalize our curriculum.

Joining our faculty this year is Dr. Tracy Barrett (Cornell, 2007), a specialist in the history of East and Southeast Asia.

Questions about the programs and degrees we offer, along with suggestions for how to shape this web site, can be sent to me at:
john.cox.1@ndsu.edu. I will be delighted to hear from you!

Thank you for your interest in our department.

Sincerely,
Dr. John K. Cox
Professor and Department Head
