MAJOR: History
A knowledge of history prepares students for careers in teaching, law, public service, management, the ministry, religious education, communications, travel counseling, and library, museum, and archival staff work.
The undergraduate history major consists of at least 36 credits in the major field (excluding HIST 449 and Interim courses), 21 of which must be numbered 300 or above. Electives must be carefully selected by the student and approved by a Department of History adviser so that the student's program is well-tailored for individual goals.
Among the seven upper-division history courses that majors take, one or more (apart from HIST 398) must require a research-based paper or papers. In fulfilling their research paper requirement, majors must write one research-based paper or papers which together total at least 20 pages.
