Major Program

The major is organized into introductory survey courses, topical upper-level courses, methodology courses, and senior seminars, taken in sequence. History majors may also select other programs, certificates, minors, and/or second majors that reflect their personal and career interests.

Major Requirements


A major in history consists of a minimum of 11 courses: 

Introduction to History


Methodology Course


HIST 3000 is recommended in preference to HIST 3010 for students who plan to teach at the K-12 level. Students may choose to take both HIST 3000 and HIST 3010, and then to take only four courses numbered above HIST 3010.

Choose one course from the following:

Capstone


 Choose one course from the following:

  • HIST 5010: Departmental Honors Project. Outstanding students may choose to write a Departmental Honors Project rather than taking the Senior Seminar. These students apply to work with a faculty adviser (in the spring of the junior year), write a significant research paper based on primary source materials, and present it to the department for consideration. Note: students are given an Independent Study (HIST 5980) only when a Departmental Honors Project is converted to an Independent Study during the senior year.
