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: Topical Seminars
Choose five courses numbered above HIST 3010 from the following: Capstone
Choose one course from the following: - HIST 5950 - Seminar in History
- 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.
