All Majors are required to complete a two-semester thesis under the guidance of a full-time history faculty member. The goal of the course is to give each history major the experience of a sustained, independent research project, including: formulating a historical question, considering methods, devising a research strategy, locating and critically evaluating primary and secondary sources. Research topics will be selected by students in consultation with the instructor. Classes will involve student presentations on various stages of their work and mutual critiques, as well as discussions of issues of common interest. The collaboration occurs in a seminar-like setting, in which a small group of students work with one professor for the entire semester, refining their historical skills and presenting their research findings. The students have to pursue a historical subject of their choice, in consultation with their professor. Students gain a better understanding of historical investigation through a careful analysis of primary and secondary sources and development of a well-argued thesis. By the end of the semester, majors have emerged with a sense of fulfillment in producing a thesis proposal, state of the field essays, historiographical critique, and historical abstract. Students' are required to enroll and successfully complete HIS 451 during the spring semester of their junior year. On rare occasions, with departmental and advisor approval given for compelling written and documented reasons, a thesis may be started two semesters prior to graduation. The determination of the acceptation rests with the department chair and may not be appealed. All Majors are required to attend regularly scheduled thesis seminar workshops as scheduled. 3:0:3
