Advisor. Amanda Biesinger, 219 Carlson Hall, 581-6121. No student is enrolled as a history major or minor until he or she has met with the History Department’s Undergraduate Academic Advisor. History majors and minors are required to prepare their course of study with the approval of the department Academic Advisor, preferably at the start of each term and especially the term the student receives the Graduation Summary Report from the Registrar’s Office.
History is a record of the political, social, economic, and cultural events, lives, and achievements of mankind. Historians analyze and evaluate this record in an attempt to understand the past and interpret the present. The History Department offers comprehensiveness and breadth in the undergraduate program as well as possibilities for research specialization on the master’s and doctoral levels.
The History Department annually offers tuition waiver scholarships for continuing and entering students. The deadline for submission for all scholarship materials is February 15. Applications are available in the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office, 105 SSB. Turn in all application materials to the Department of History office, 211 Carlson Hall.
