History Major with Inclusive Adolescence Education

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.

All Inclusive Adolescence Education students are required to have a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher in order to advance into Junior-level education coursework.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Develop an awareness of the approach and methodology of history as a discipline
Master major historical facts
Have an understanding of the time frame of historical events
Be able to collect and analyze primary source evidence
Have an acquaintance with the basic works and interpretations of leading scholars in the study of a particular era or field of inquiry (i.e., historiography)
Develop basic competence in the historical and political geography of the period under study

Senior Seminar (HIS*481) is a writing-intense research seminar. Students 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.
