Select at least two courses from four of the five areas below (44)

Consult a History Department adviser in developing your plan. This may include History 407 seminars on topical/regional areas offered on a periodic basis. With prior approval from their History Department adviser, students may plan a program that includes up to 9 hours of social science electives relevant to their concentration areas in history to complete the 44-hour sequence.

Students will work with history faculty to develop a project for their Senior Seminar. Students may select to do a thesis paper or an internship or practicum. Students planning on pursing graduate work are encourage to complete the thesis option, in which students use a paper completed for an upper division history course at WOU as a foundation for their Senior Seminar thesis. These students will revise and expand this topical paper, with History Department advisors, across the senior year to complete Senior Seminar (HST 499 ) in the spring term. Non-thesis students complete an internship or practicum and write up their experiences in HST 499 .

In HST 420  the student will explore the theoretical foundations of the discipline of history that will become the basis for the HST 499  senior project. HST 420  should be taken the term preceding HST 499 .
