Students who are history majors or minors may elect to complete a thematic concentration as part of their program of study. Concentrations require 9 hours of coursework, but do not require any additional hours beyond those needed for the major or minor. Students declaring a concentration must do so prior to the beginning of their final semester. Concentrations are offered in the following specializations:
- Cultural/Intellectual History
- Economics, Trade, and Commerce
- Gender/Sexuality/LGBTQ
- Global/Transnational History
- International Relations and Military
- Jewish History
- Politics, Governance, and Law
- Religion and Society
- Science, Medicine & Technology
- Social History
- Individualized Concentration
To complete a concentration, students must select courses in consultation with their major or minor adviser, submit an application to the department, and earn a ‘C’ in each course. Students who complete the requirements for a concentration will be awarded a certificate by the department and have the concentration included on their college transcript.
