History Major with Inclusive Adolescence Education


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: College of Arts and Sciences

The History program aims to develop in students an understanding of the importance of the past in a broad range of human experiences. Our majors will be exposed to and interrogate a multiplicity of perspectives and conflicting voices. They will learn to analyze narratives of the human past and how they shape our understanding of one another and the wider world. Students will gain a sophisticated awareness of the discipline of history. This serves as a foundation and frame of reference for their pursuit of knowledge, civic competence, and the ability to interact in a diverse global environment. The department’s goal is that all majors will engage in the dynamic study of history by developing the historical skills to make meaningful and dynamic interpretations of the past.


For students pursuing careers in education a minimum GPA of 2.7 is required for student teaching.

Core Curriculum Requirements


All Nazareth students complete Core Curriculum coursework as part of their degree requirements. The Core provides a foundation in the liberal arts and sciences while guiding students to pose and explore their own intellectual questions. See Academic Policies and Procedures  for specific core curriculum requirements. 

History Core


The History Core provides the foundation for all of our programs. Students are required to take 15 credits as follows:

History Senior Experience


Seniors will take a writing-intense research seminar. The purpose of the course will be to apply their skills as serious students of history to a research project of their own design. The seminar’s topic will be based on the participating faculty member’s current research interest, but will be sufficiently broad to allow students to develop research projects in their own fields of interest. Each student will engage in an extensive search for sources, including both primary and secondary documents. These sources will serve as the foundation of a formal research paper, which will be the culmination of the student’s efforts in the course, and which will represent their efforts at historical interpretation.

Writings from the seminar will be included within the portfolio format of the Senior History Comprehensive.
