The History Major has four principal goals. Upon graduating with a History Major from AUP, a student will have a strong knowledge of historical trends across cultures in at least two different geographical or thematic areas. Graduates will be able to critically assess the value of information by identifying, interpreting and narrating significant historical data. They should be able to discuss critically a historiographical work, identifying the basic motivations and methodological approaches of the author within the discipline of History. Lastly, students will be prepared “to do” history through a strong mastery of reading primary texts and writing historical essays.
Students may graduate with Honors in History by achieving a 3.7 grade point average and successfully completing a Senior Honors Thesis. |
