Capstone Seminar in History

Catalog description

This capstone course asks that students build upon skills acquired in HST 3000 and other advanced history courses by capitalizing on their larger university experience. Participants will complete a semester-long project rooted in examining an area of history selected by the professor. Based on appropriate primary and secondary sources, this task will require that they answer a research question by honing their interpretative and communicative abilities. Such a project bolsters the student’s self-assessment of content knowledge and skill acquisition.
