The Department's seminar program allows small groups of students to focus on
specific historical problems and to work closely with a faculty member expert
in the field.
The History Department offers two kinds of seminars. First Year Seminars are
restricted to first year students and do not count towards fulfilling the
requirements of the Major. The wide variety of topics offered each year aims to
introduce students to history and to historical procedures, often through the
use of primary sources. First-year seminars in History are included in the
listing of current seminars accessible from the Registrar's web site.
Upperclass Seminars are offered on a more advanced level and are usually
taken in a major's junior or senior year. One must be taken to fulfill the
requirements of the Major. Because seminars have limited enrollment and require
the instructor's permission, it is critically important that students contact
the faculty member offering the seminar at the earliest possible
opportunity—even over a year before it is scheduled to be given. Instructors
keep lists of students who they have assured admission to their seminar.
