Exploring History
The Department of History strongly encourages majors to link their academic, career, and extracurricular interests by offering multiple avenues for the integration of students’ social and intellectual lives.
- The undergraduate History Club, a registered student organization, plans student-faculty dinners, movie screenings, and field trips each year. Contact Dr. Dan Graff, Director of Undergraduate Studies, to learn more about this group and its officers for the current academic year.
- History Internships encourage students to work in museums, archives, and other public history organizations.
- HIST 33005/Exploring History Beyond the Classroom offers credit for students who commit to attending lectures, seminars, films, and conferences on campus and meet over meals with faculty for intimate conversations about history, the history profession, and the importance of historical thinking for understanding the modern world.
