Students are encouraged to take classes pertaining to their interests, whether these

such as Ancient Rome. The history faculty offers additional courses of interest on
a rotating schedule, including classes on comparative slavery, African American women’s

undergraduates must take two capstone courses such as historiography and the senior
research project.
The undergraduate program in History currently offers four concentrations.
