Mission Statement

"We are a professional society whose mission is to promote the study of history through the encouragement of research, good teaching, publication and the exchange of learning and ideas among historians. We seek to bring students, teachers and writers of history together for intellectual and social exchanges, which promote and assist historical research and publication by our members in a variety of ways."

      Why join Phi Alpha Theta?

      In addition to recognition of superior work in the field of history, membership in Phi Alpha Theta has many other advantages, some of which include:

      1. The right to participate in the functions of the local chapter, not only while enrolled at CSUSB, but after graduation as well. These can include meetings, field trips and banquets.

      2. The opportunity to be elected as a delegate to the regional and national conventions of Phi Alpha Theta.

      3. Eligibility to participate in the numerous scholarship and paper competitions held by Phi Alpha Theta nationwide. The conferences allow members to meet distinguished faculty, students (and future colleges) from across the nation.

      4. The opportunity to submit articles for publication in "The Historian," the official journal of Phi Alpha Theta International.

      5. The opportunity to get to know fellow history students in a professional atmosphere, where networking spreads ideas as well as opportunities for the future.

      6. The opportunity to receive the local Phi Alpha Theta Newsletter, and other information that becomes available through the History Department and Phi Alpha Theta participants.

      7. The recognition of belonging to a prestigious international Honor Society.
