. The Department of History offers a one-year terminal master's degree in history. To receive the degree, students must pass seven term courses, four of which must be in History. Students must submit substantial written work in conjunction with at least two of these courses, and Honors grades are expected in two courses, with a High Pass average overall. All students in this program must pass an examination in one foreign language. History has been taught at Yale since President Thomas Clap introduced specifically historical courses in the 1760s, and the Department of History has existed since 1919, when Yale first divided its faculty into academic departments. History was a popular course of study when majors first were introduced after World War I, and it became the largest major in the 1950s. For more than a half-century since, between 15 and 20 percent of Yale undergraduates have majored in History, and undergraduate History courses draw between 4000 and 5000 enrollments each year.
