Overview

Âé¶¹ÎÞÂë°æ History Program

History majors learn to do the work of historians, researching and writing about the past. All history majors complete a capstone project — a major research paper on a subject of their choosing. History majors have the option to do an internship that exlores the ways history can be used in cultural, social and political institutions.

As a History major at Âé¶¹ÎÞÂë°æ, you will enjoy:

  • learning from outstanding faculty, two thirds of whom were first generation college students themselves
  • a deliberately global curriculum
  • small upper division classes
  • the possibility of getting to know and work closely with your professors in the department
  • individualized mentoring
  • opportunities to work with faculty on research projects
  • developing pathways to a number of future careers
  • the prospect of publishing and gaining editorial experience in a student-run journal
