I was told that history is a “bread and butter major”; pretty much any good college also has a good history department.

Pretty much. Most good colleges have solid programs in the most popular liberal arts disciplines like history, English, and biology.

That said, anyone interested in the history of other parts of the world should check out offerings in the area studies departments as well. For instance, a student interested in Asian history may prefer to attend a college that offers Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (e.g. Wellesley) instead of a college with relatively limited offerings in Asian languages (e.g. Reed).
