History Honors Program


Qualified students are urged to enter the history department’s honors program. To qualify for the program, students must complete 25 credits in their major and have an overall GPA of 3.0 and 3.25 in history. Honors students will complete the following requirements:

  1. an elective course in addition to those required for their major in an area of concentration (United States, Europe, or non-western).
  2. a year of coursework in one departmentally-approved foreign language at an accredited college or university. If it is the same language as that taken in high school, the student must complete the course work at the 200 level.
  3. an honors research paper (25 page minimum) completed during HIST 481. A faculty committee will judge whether the paper meets departmental standards for honors.

Students who complete the above requirements will graduate with departmental honors. Please contact the department chair for more information
