Capstone

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 5970) only when a Departmental Honors Project is converted mid-year.

Choose one course from the following:

• HIST 5950 - Seminar in History
• HIST 5010 - Departmental Honors Project
