History

Return to: Programs of Study

The discipline of history represents a dialogue between the past and the present. Through the study and interpretation of the past, the historian attempts to reconstruct and represent the course of human developments, thereby shedding light on current concerns. The student of history learns to look for information, interpret its meaning, and through a careful consideration of the sources, reach thoughtful and informed conclusions.

Honors Program Participants: History Honors students must meet the same requirements as those listed for non-honors students, with the exception that 6 hours must have History Honors designations. HONR designated history courses usually include 3 hours Independent Studies and a regular upper-division course with an honors contract agreement.
