An Introduction to the History Department Undergraduate Programs

The History Department offers a rich array of undergraduate programs. In addition to the regular major, students can choose a concentration in American, European, Global, or Policy history. In conjunction with the College of Education, it offers a History Education program for those choosing a career as secondary school social studies teachers.

Collaboration with the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures has resulted in a major combining languages with the history of the regions in which these languages are spoken. The department also maintains an advisory program for prelaw students majoring in history.

The department encourages interdepartmental or double majors that enable a student to develop competence in two areas, such as History and Art History or History and Literature. An Honors Degree as well as a Degree with Distinction are also options.

Please note: Programs are subject to change. Hence students are responsible for keeping up with all program changes.
