Department of History and International Studies
The Department was established to offer a B.A History in 2011 but did not commence academic activities until November 2012. The academic programme of the department was reviewed in the 2012/2013 session on the directive of the University Senate. As a result, new courses in international Studies were introduced into the curriculum of the department in line with the current restructuring of Curriculum of History in Nigerian Universities and global trends. The University Senate approved the change of nomenclature of the Department in the 2013/2014 Session to Department of History and International Studies. The programme exposes a thorough understanding of Nigerian history, historiography, world history as well as the dynamics in global affairs.

Mission Statement
The mission is to be one of the best departments of history and international studies in the universities established in 2011. To this end, the department shall ensure adequate research and learning to our students thereby making them to meet their aspirations locally and internationally. To this end, lecturers of high quality have been recruited to drive this mission. Efforts shall be geared towards ensuring research projects that have direct bearing to the needs of the society.
Vision
Our vision is to produce high quality graduates capable of meeting international standard so as to be able to compete for job placement within and outside Nigeria. It is our vision to produce graduates worthy in learning and character and pride to the university
Philosophy
The programme anchors on: (i) the knowledge that a meaningful history and international studies course must emphasise the events and trends of the past which are relevant to the current problems, needs and aspirations of the immediate and the wider-world. (ii) the fact that the world has become a global village making the component parts increasingly interdependent or interrelated.
