Honors Program
Academically talented students have many opportunities to pursue enhanced undergraduate education through the University Honors Program. These include: the development of an amplified curriculum, a range of "honors" degree options, priority course registration, access to special Honors colloquia and Honors sections of core classes, credit for undergraduate research, application support to major national scholarship programs, small group interaction with faculty, and a five-year bachelor's-master's program. For more information see the University Honors Program.
The History Department works with the University Honors Program on a number of levels: Our faculty regularly teach in the University Honors Colloquia Series. The History Department also offers Honors Courses in European History (Hist 2114: Critical Issues in European History) and the History of the United States (Hist 2104H: Critical Issues in American History). Hist 2114 may be used for Area 2 Core Curriculum Credit, and Hist 2104 may be used for Area 3 Core Curriculum Credit.
History majors pursuing concentrations in Global/Comparative History, Social/Cultural/Economic History, or History of Science/Technology/The Environment may be particularly interested in an honors degree and should consult their academic advisor, or the History Honors coordinator, Dr. Amy Nelson, as early as possible in their academic career.
