History

Senior-level research seminar on selected problems in American, European or world history. The seminar is designed with the intention of cultivating and demonstrating skills in historical research, critical analysis, communication, and presentations. The chief product of the class will be a major research paper based on primary sources that displays awareness of the tradition of historical interpretation in its subject. This course is the history major capstone and therefore all students are required to complete it prior to graduation. Students may take the seminar more than once as long as the topic varies. Prerequisites: At least two history courses (including one from the 200 or 300 level) or the approval of the instructor. All non-majors must seek instructor approval before enrolling. This course is not accepted for the General Education Humanities requirement.
