Capstone

 Choose one course from the following:

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.
