Course Overview

A majority of your history courses are divided among three geographically distinct fields of concentration: American history, European history, and the history of Asia and the Middle East.

To get the most out of your undergraduate study of history or if you plan to do graduate work in history, we strongly recommend enrollment in the University Honors program and to consider undertaking a senior thesis. Faculty advisors will help you develop programs of study emphasizing honors courses pertinent to the major and will direct independent studies and honors theses.

We also encourage you to consider studying for a semester abroad in your junior or senior year. The opportunity to study a country’s or region’s history “on site” is invariably a broadening and deepening experience.
