NESCAC History Departments

<p>Hello,
I’m a major history enthusiast who specializes in Medieval/Byzantine History. Next year, as a high school senior, I will be attending classes at Trinity College. After searching through many college course catalogues, I’m still not sure which NESCAC school possesses the best history department. Most of them have a substantial amount of classes, but which school has the best faculty, study abroad options, intern positions, etc? Being very familiar with Trinity College, it seems as though they have an abundance of diverse, interesting history classes. Does anyone have a school in the Northeast which they believe has the best History program?
Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Google ratings of undergraduate history majors. Offhand, for medieval and Renaissance History I might say Columbia or Yale, not NESCAC schools. Small schools don’t specialize as much, an exception being Gettysburg with a very strong Civil War program, for obvious reasons.</p>

<p>If you’re specifically interested in Medieval history, make sure you check out Bates’ Classical & Medieval Studies major. It’s pretty unique and well-regarded as far as I know.<br>
