For All Potential History Majors

Leave a reply

ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS INTERESTED IN HISTORY AS A MAJOR OR SECOND MAJOR:

We are starting to take applications for the Honors Program in History.

We are looking for energetic, ambitious juniors and sophomores.

For those who don’t know, the honors program consists of a seminar in historiography in the spring of a student’s junior year, and a two-semester thesis doing original research during their senior year.

Many honors students want to combine the program with study abroad, interdisciplinary programs, Normandy scholars, and so on.

In almost all cases we can accommodate this. Some students have taken the honors seminar in the spring of their sophomore year, gone abroad junior year, and done a thesis senior year.

The honors director is happy to discuss your schedule and plan.

History honors is a very substantial credential.

It’s great preparation for all kinds of graduate programs, from history to law, public policy, business, medicine, or education.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty member.

We have money for travel and research.

We have prizes for best thesis.

We eat pizza.

The deadline to apply for the spring class is coming up. October 18th. You can get more information from the Director, History advising, and the website
