Britain

Undergraduate Program

We offer a full range of survey and lecture courses in British history from the early modern period through to the present day.   A recent addition to our program is a survey course on the history of the British Empire from the mid-sixteenth century to the twentieth century.   Our survey courses fulfill the University's CORE requirement in Social and Political History or, in the case of HIST 233, the British Empire course, in Diversity. Our upper level courses that are offered periodically, as faculty schedules permit, take an in-depth look at particular periods or topics.

Courses offered on a regular basis include:
HIST 233 Empire! The British Imperial Experience 1550-1997
HIST 235 History of Britain 1461-1714
HIST 236 History of Britain 1688 to Present
HIST 426 Age of Industry.   Britain: 1760-1914
HIST 427 Age of Decline.   Britain 1914-Present
HIST 430 Tudor England
HIST 431 Stuart England

Undergraduates focusing on British history may wish to spend a year or semester studying in Great Britain. Opportunities offered by Maryland include study aboard in Liverpool and London. More information can be found through the university's Study Abroad Office.
