The manual contains descriptions and worksheets for the major, the minor, and the honors concentration. It also includes worksheets for planning your program and lists all department course offerings by their field of concentration. If you are an undergraduate who has completed at least 21 history units with a GPA of 3.25 or higher, please give careful consideration to the honors concentration. It presents an opportunity to develop additional depth and breadth in history and should strengthen your applications for graduate or professional study. Completion of the honors concentration is noted on transcripts and diplomas.
Details are in the planning manual for history majors.
The department needs graduate students and highly qualified senior history majors as assistants for lower-division survey classes. Their primary duty is to grade exams or papers under the close supervision of the class instructor. The total time commitment is about 35 hours per course per semester. If you are interested, please fill out and return the appropriate form at the end of this booklet. Sometimes faculty members have need of a research assistant, and these applications also will be made available to faculty members seeking a qualified student for that.
