Seminars are small classes of no more than fifteen students.
The department has three types of undergraduate seminars. They are all variable title seminars, which means that the content of the course will vary depending on the faculty member who teaches the class. History 195 is a freshman seminar for incoming history majors. History 492 is an undergraduate reading seminar in which students will immerse themselves in the historical literature on a given topic. History 495 is a research seminar in which students will do primary-source research on a relevant historical topic.
