Students receive a broad foundation in United States history and Western Civilization, primarily through primary sources, and then may, in consultation with their advisor, design their own course of study incorporating coursework from throughout the university. Students may choose a general course based in United States, European, or world studies, or may organize their degree around a specific theme such as religion, African-American, political, social, intellectual, or economic topics to name a few. All history majors complete required courses in historical methods and a senior colloquium where they write a senior thesis. In addition, the student may pursue a secondary interest in more depth since the major allows for 21 credits in electives.
