Minimum Competence Requirement
A grade of C- or better is required for all courses taken for the major.
Department Writing Requirement
The entire History curriculum emphasizes a variety of writing skills and forms. To demonstrate writing proficiency, all history majors will complete a “capstone writing assignment” in the Senior Seminar-HIST 491 , Honors Thesis-HIST 493 , or the Senior Essay-HIST 496 . The student will produce a finished written work of substantial length which reflects the application of diverse writing skills (including planning, pre-writing, revision, etc.). Students must maintain and, if requested, submit all notes, outlines, drafts, etc., with the final paper. Students must demonstrate writing competence in order to pass the capstone writing assignment.
