Courses in the history department span all the chronological and geographical areas of historical study and are taught by full-time professors in classes small enough for dialogue between students and professors.
A major in history consists of thirty-six semester hours of history courses. Core Curriculum history courses do not count toward the major. Normally course selection should represent three areas of history (United States history, European history, and either Asian, African or Latin American history) and be distributed chronologically as well as geographically.
Students must also complete a minimum of four courses at the 400 level and they must write two research papers in history. The first paper is completed in History 392, and the second paper is in a History 499 senior seminar. A grade of "C" or better is required in both History 392 and History 499. History 499 counts as one of the four required 400-level courses. Both papers meet the College of Liberal Arts Writing-Across-the-Curriculum (WAC) requirement.
