HIS490 History Capstone Seminar
This course provides senior-year History majors with a culminating academic experience. The Seminar has two components: students will analyze and develop interpretive perspectives on complex historical readings concerning a range of historical subjects, time periods, and regions; additionally, each student will complete a 20-page research paper, using some primary-source material, on an approved historical topic. At the final Seminar class meeting, students will give oral presentations on their paper topics, to generate thought, comment, and analytical observations among student colleagues, faculty members, and others in attendance. Prerequisite: senior-level History major status.
