历史文学学士

历史专业的学生具有独特的能力，可以理解我们不断变化的世界和人类经验的多样性。我们的专业学习变化的原因和后果，并学会从他人的角度看世界。随着历史专业学生实践解释和同理心的艺术，他们还培养了广泛的研究，沟通和批判性思维技能。这些技能包括对文本，数据和证据的定位和分析，对大量书面和视觉媒体的掌握和综合，提供书面和口头论点和描述，对其他论点的评价以及应用解释，定量和数字工具。我们鼓励专业学生在教师指导下进行的独立研究过程中磨练所有这些技能，无论是在Capstone体验（HIST 302）还是更具雄心的荣誉论文（H
History majors are uniquely equipped for understanding our ever-changing world and the diversity of the human experience. Our majors study the causes and consequences of change and learn to see the world from the perspectives of others. As History majors practice the arts of explanation and empathy, they also cultivate a broad set of research, communication, and critical thinking skills. These skills include the location and analysis of texts, data, and evidence, the mastery and synthesis of large bodies of written and visual media, the furnishing of written and oral arguments and descriptions, the evaluation of the arguments of others, and the application of interpretive, quantitative, and digital tools. Our majors are encouraged to hone all these skills in the process of independent research conducted under faculty guidance, either in the Capstone Experience (HIST 302) or the more ambitious Honors Thesis (HIST 391, 392). They are also encouraged to craft the major to their own particular interests, either by pursuing a geographically broad historical education or by concentrating on a particular region or theme that interests them. Concentrations pursued by our majors include War, Empire, and Revolution, Women, Gender, and Sexuality, Global Connections, Race, Ethnicity, and Diasporas, Religion, Thought, and Culture, Medicine, Technology, and Environment, and Public and Digital History.
