Learn more -- Columbus State University Academics College of Letters and Sciences Department of History & Geography History and geography are central to a rich, immersive liberal arts education. At CSU, you’ll develop a deeper appreciation for the past, understand how the past influences the present, and make important connections between geography and human history. The department offers one graduate, two undergraduate, and four certificate programs. Each is designed to foster intellectual curiosity and technical skill. At CSU, you’ll collaborate with professional geographers and learn how to apply geographic information system (GIS) technology to historical research. We believe the best education happens inside – and outside – the classroom. As a student, you’ll have access to internship opportunities with the Columbus Museum, the Carter Center, the Roosevelt Institute, the Andersonville National Historic Site, and many others.

What We Do Dr. Bryan Banks Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most important figures in human history. For more than fifteen years, he shaped Europe and the fate of European empires around the world. Despite his importance, historians debate his legacy. Was he a ruthless dictator determined to create a global dynasty? Or was he the heir of the French Revolution‘s democratic idealism? Explore these questions and more in Dr. Banks‘s Napoleon course. Alumni Spotlight Ryan Willoughby ‘08 “The department prepared me in more ways than I can actively remember. The most notable ways it prepared me was in requiring me to hone my public speaking skills, to learn how to thoroughly research topics, and to share what I learned in a clear and consistent manner.” Now, Ryan is the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity in Georgia “I work for the 65 Habitat for Humanity affiliates that operate in the state of Georgia and who serve approximately 300+ families each year with affordable housing solutions. I am responsible for fundraising, training, advocating, and providing disaster preparedness for those affiliates. At any given time, I am arranging multiple training events, administering a few grants, and engaging in advocacy efforts on a state and national level on behalf of Habitat’s mission.” 4225 University Avenue Columbus, Georgia 31907 IT Support Coronavirus Information Return to Campus Updates Create Care Referral/Report Employment Ethics Reporting Hotline Human Trafficking Notice Privacy Policy Title IX Information University Police MyCSU LEARN Apply Now Degrees & Majors Admissions Information Tuition & Fees Military Continuing Education Request Information DISCOVER Tour Campus Library Bo Bartlett Center Coca-Cola Space Science Center Oxbow Meadows Pasaquan Student Life CONNECT Phone: 706-507-8800 Toll-Free: 1-866-264-2035 Emergencies: 706-507-8911 University Police: 706-568-2022 News Events CSUinvolve CSU Facebook CSU Twitter CSU Instagram CSU YouTube CSU Flickr Give to CSU © 2020 Columbus State University - A University System of Georgia Institution Text-Only Version 4225 University Avenue Columbus, Georgia 31907 Phone: 706-507-8800 Toll-Free: 1-866-264-2035 We use cookies to improve your experience on our website and to show you relevant advertising.
