HIST 691/692: Honors in History

This two-semester seminar leads students through the process of writing a 50- to 75-page honors thesis in history. Writing a thesis involves all the skills of a professional historian: original research, creative thinking, complex analysis, and intensive writing and rewriting. By the end of the class, each student will have produced an original work of historical scholarship. This course is restricted to students who have been accepted into the honors thesis program. History majors can apply in the spring of their junior year.
