History courses are designed to provide students with the analytical and bibliographical skills necessary to research and interpret the past. Emphasis is placed upon active participation in the creative process of historical inquiry.
The department offers Specializations in History, Public History, Pre-Law, and European Studies. The Public History Specialization educates students in the applied application of history outside of the university and classroom settings. Students learn how public historians think and operate as professionals. Through both traditional and applied coursework, students select and develop specific public history skills. Pre-Law is offered in conjunction with the Political Science Department and includes courses in legal research and writing.
Students planning to go to graduate school are strongly advised to attain proficiency in foreign languages.
Students interested in obtaining certification to teach this subject area in secondary education need to contact an advisor in this department and in Teacher Education Student Services (Building 85, Room 113) to carefully plan the course work to satisfy degree and some teacher certification requirements. A degree in this major is required for participation in the approved teacher education program and for other certification options.
