Undergraduate Programs

The History and Geography Department offers four undergraduate programs: two concentrations within the History major and a minor in each of History and Geography.

For more information, visit the course catalog or the page for the specific program you’re interested in.

• The American and World History Concentration is the most flexible way to major in history. Students are able to focus on what they are interested in and prepare for a variety of careers.
• The Secondary Education Social Studies Concentration is for students who want to teach history and social studies at the middle or high school level. This program includes education courses and leads to teaching certification.
• The Public History Concentration is for students who want to work in museums, national parks, or other settings in which they interpret history for the public.
• The History Minor is a great way to supplement other majors. It gives students flexibility to select classes that complement their primary program of study.
• The Geography Minor is particularly popular with students who are majoring in Earth Space studies and Environmental studies, but can be a valuable supplement to many other majors.
