课程
历史 majors lay the foundation for their work by taking world and American history survey courses as first-year students and sophomores. Later courses include African, American, Asian, 欧洲, Latin American, and Middle Eastern history. 历史 faculty also offer several thematic courses that cross these regional boundaries. Upperclass students often complete an independent study under the guidance of a professor. 所有专业的学生都参加研究研讨会, which allows them to write a major research paper on a topic of their choice while learning historiography (the principles of historical research) and professional historians’ tools of the trade.
