 ==Requirements==
-Majors are required to complete 29 credits of history courses or courses approved by a History Department advisor (see below). Majors are required to specialize in a geographic or temporal field, and to take 13 credits within this specialization. At one time, these specializations were set in stone, but now you can pretty much make one up on your own. Nevertheless, you are required to take at least one course among several areas of concentration outside your own, including Premodern (pre-1750), Modern Europe, the non-West (including Africa, Asia, and the Middle East) and the Americas. If your specialization crosses geographical or temporal lines, departmental advisors will help recommend a distribution requirement that reflects a diverse courseload and a perspicacious understanding of world history.

	To receive honors in the History Department, undergraduate students must complete a [[senior thesis]]. This document is usually around 50-80 pages, and must include substantial original research. Students writing theses either take seminars or work independently with individual advisors. While one cannot receive honors without writing a thesis, it is not, however, a graduation requirement.
