Essays are due in March. Details are available in the History Department office. Students who elect to take a CLEP examination in either Western Civilization or United States History should complete the essay portion of the exam in addition to the multiple choice portion. If the score on the multiple choice portion of the exam is satisfactory, members of the History department evaluate the essays. The local chapter of this international history honor society promotes the study of history by honoring students who have maintained high academic standards throughout their college careers.
Members participate in a variety of intellectual and social activities throughout the academic year.
Students who have completed at least four history classes and who have maintained a grade point average of at least 3.0 are encouraged to apply. Contact Professor Andrew Shankman , Chapter Advisor, for more information or visit their chapter website linked above at the left. Students apply to the School of Education for admission to the M.Ed. Students selecting the History option should have earned an undergraduate major or minor in History or Social Science. Students in the program will have an advisor from the School of Education and an advisor from the History Department.
