A Student of History
Whatever your reason for studying history, we welcome the opportunity to work with you to develop the skills of our discipline: identifying and evaluating primary sources; framing a research question in conversation with the best relevant scholarship; building an interpretation of the past; and synthesizing material into a convincing narrative.
Most importantly, we hope you will experience the intellectual excitement of combining curiosity, research, and well-informed imagination, and that your study of the past will enrich your college experience while preparing you for the future.
Major or Minor in History
History majors select a geographic specialization such as U.S., European, or global history, or may choose, in consultation with their adviser, to define a thematic specialization that is comparative or transnational in its approach.
