Department of History courses cover a wide range of issues in all time periods and parts of the world. History students learn how change takes place, the tensions and conflicts it causes, and how individuals, groups, and societies change over time. The history major develops skills that are essential for any career: research, analysis, synthesis and effective writing. Major in HistoryRequirementsStudents must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours to include:
Students must complete the degree requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences. Further details including concentration and field areas may be found at www.indiana.edu/~histweb/ugrad/degrees.shtml RecommendationsStudents should consult with departmental and faculty advisors regarding their selection of courses within the primary concentration. Suggestions for programs of study are available from the History advisor and on the Department of History Web site www.indiana.edu/~histweb. Prelaw TrackThe History Major provides an excellent preparation for students intending to study law. In addition, those interested in legal careers should concentrate on developing particular kinds of skills needed in legal education and practice. They should, for example, develop their analytical skills by taking courses such as logic, their writing skills by taking seminars and other courses that offer structured writing exercises, and their speaking skills by taking courses in speech. Finally, since much of the law deals with marketplace issues, students interested in law should consider taking micro- and macroeconomics. Interdepartmental Major in History and African American and African Diaspora StudiesRequirementsStudents must meet the following course requirements for a minimum total of 40 credit hours. No course counting toward completion of the upper-level hours requirement of the history concentration can also be counted toward completion of the upper-level hours requirement of the African American and African Diaspora Studies concentration.
