History is a primary undergraduate major, preparing students for a wide range of careers. Recent graduates have entered advanced degree programs in history, law, business administration, international relations, library science, education, public administration, museum science, and religion. Most students enter the work place at graduation, going into business, government, service industries, as well as human services, education, and related fields.
Courses at the 100 level are considered introductory courses, have no prerequisites, and are open primarily to freshmen, sophomores, and non-majors as elective courses.
History majors are required to take 12 courses in History, 10 of which must be courses numbered 200 or above. Two courses from three of the four areas of course offerings—Europe before 1600; Europe since 1600; United States; and Special Areas—must be included among the 10 advanced courses. All majors must take a Reading Seminar or the Research Seminar. Courses at the 200 or 300 level will count toward fulfillment of distribution requirements. However, students may take no more than five 200 level courses toward major requirements. History Internships and study abroad are endorsed by the department. Students in the Education Certificate program must take most, if not all, available electives in Social Sciences areas to qualify for the Teaching Certificate. Please consult with the chair of the Education Department about the requirements for Teacher Certification. |
