History

With faculty specialties ranging from ancient to modern history, covering the U.S, Europe, Latin America, East Asia, Africa, Russia, and the Middle East, the History Department offers students the opportunity both to develop an understanding of broad currents in history and to specialize in a particular area. Students learn how to do historical research, analyze and synthesize information, and present their ideas orally and in writing. Majors are also required to take six semester hours of a foreign language.

Students considering a major in history are urged to consult a history advisor early in their academic program in order to build a logical program leading to their goal, be it graduate school, professional school, or post-baccalaureate employment. In addition, students are encouraged to earn up to 15 credits in a semester abroad program sponsored by the University. For further clarifications regarding the program, they may consult the department chairperson.

History majors must have a minimum 2.0 overall G.P.A. to qualify for graduation. Students must earn at least a C- in all 300-400 level History courses.
