HIST 490 History Thesis Seminar (W)
All history majors, normally in their senior year, will produce a research essay which demonstrates a mastery of historical techniques and writing skill. The student chooses a topic based upon the courses previously taken that are numbered between 201 and 397. The student's topic must be approved by the faculty member running the course. If the final product is of exceptional quality, it may be submitted to the department for a possible degree with honors.
