There are many activities that students in the History Department become involved with that take their learning beyond the history classroom. Here’s a sampling of what our students are getting excited about – if you have something you’d like to share with other history majors and minors please reach out!
Honors in History
Students selected by the placement process of the Admissions Office will be awarded honors in history if they earn at least a 'B' each in a 1000-level course with a designation of "H", any 2000-level course, and any 3000- or 4000-level course. Students may also take two 2000-level courses and one 3000-/4000-level course to fulfill the honors requirement, again provided they earn at least a 'B' in each class.
Phi Alpha Theta
Students who have completed 12 hrs in history, and maintained a 3.1 GPA and an overall GPA of 3.0 are eligible for induction to the honor society
