The history major presents a wide range of courses. All students pursuing this major take three introductory survey courses in United States and world history. With this background, the history major is ready for more advanced topics, examples of which include World War II and the Holocaust, the Modern Middle East, contemporary America, North Carolina history, African American history, the Middle Ages, the Civil War, the history of political ideas, religious history, and women’s history. The capstone course is a seminar devoted to the historian’s craft, in which seniors read and discuss significant works of historical literature, and write a major research paper. Students are also strongly encouraged to gain professional experience as interns at local historic site and museums working under the supervision of History faculty. Interested students can pursue teaching licensure in social studies at the middle or high school level. Also, a combined history and political science major is offered jointly with the Department of Political Science. History majors have found jobs in teaching, public history, business, government, and other fields after graduation, while other recent graduates have been accepted into law school, divinity school, and advanced history programs.
