Once admitted to the department, students are encouraged to take advantage of the variety of services and academic opportunities available to them as majors. Emphasizing breadth of study and comparative inquiry as well as more specialized research, the Department of History provides strong support and unique opportunities for undergraduates. The Department of History, part of the College of Arts and Sciences, offers a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History, a Bachelor of Arts Degree in the History of Science, as well as minors in History and History of Science. In addition, the Department of History participates in other, related minors, such as the minor in Ancient History and Classics, the minor in Medical History and Ethics, and the minor in Labor Studies. An Honors Program is also available for qualified undergraduate history majors.
History is a subject complementary to many other areas of study.
History and History of Science majors are encouraged to complete double majors, double degrees, or minors in other subjects. Consult an advisor for details about these options. Please note that some teaching minors do have equivalent College of Arts and Sciences minors, and will not appear on the diploma. Last modified 15 February 2000.
