History Faculty
WSU history faculty consider their primary mission to be teaching. All of our faculty, including senior professors, teach undergraduate classes. Our professors are excellent teachers, they enjoy undergraduate instruction, and they take that responsibility seriously. If high school graduates or transfer students are looking for a congenial atmosphere in which to study and learn, they can find no better place than the WSU history department.
