History Major

The history major is designed to help students participate knowledgeably in the affairs of the world around them and to see themselves and their society from different times and places, displaying a sense of informed perspective and a mature view of human nature. They learn to read and think critically, write and speak clearly and persuasively, and conduct research effectively. The foundations for achieving these goals are laid in American history courses (a minimum of 16 credits) and in non-American history courses (a minimum of 16 credits); these 32 credits, plus 4 elective history credits, must be successfully completed by every history major.

Requirements for major in history:
