History Senior Seminar

Catalog description

This is the capstone course for all graduating majors in the History program. This course offers history majors an opportunity to define and intensively study a topic of special interest through guided independent research and classroom discussions. Students will give two oral presentations and write either a major research paper or (with instructor permission only) a collection of short essays based upon their study and research. It is also intended to guide majors through the process of compiling a history portfolio, which is required for graduation. This course contributes to the critical thinking/communication outcome. *For senior history majors only.
