BA in History with Departmental Honors

The History Honors program offers students the opportunity to work closely with a faculty mentor for two semesters on an original history research project and to present their work at one or more conference venues such as the Northern California Phi Alpha Theta (History Honors Society) Conference, the National Conference for Undergraduate Research, and the Pacific Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Conference. At the end of the program students will have a high caliber and substantial senior thesis as well as experience presenting their research findings publicly. This provides excellent experience for students planning to pursue graduate or professional school and also helps students to demonstrate their research, writing and oral communication skills to future employers.
