American and World history through completion of a broad selection
of courses in history.
2. Ask appropriate historical questions that demonstrate an
understanding of the discipline of history and distinguish it from
those of other disciplines.
3. Distinguish between primary sources and secondary sources used in
the writing of history and know how to use and analyze each
appropriately.

Students will thus be able to: a) Analyze a primary

source as a product of a particular historical context; and b) Respond
critically to a secondary source, taking into account the primary
sources used by the historian, the historian’s methodology, the logic
of the argument, and other major interpretations in the field.
4. Present historical analysis and arguments in a clear written and oral
form, including the ability to construct an argument by marshaling
evidence in an appropriate and logical fashion.
5. Write a research paper that asks a significant historical question,
answers it with a clear thesis and a logical argument, supports it with
both primary and secondary sources, documents it appropriately,
and is written in clear and artful prose with the grammar and
spelling associated with formal composition.
The craft of the historian includes:-
 the critical analysis of texts and arguments;
 the interpretation of evidence, research conducted in a variety of
media; and
 clear and effective written and oral communication.
These skills prepare students for a variety of career opportunities. They
also enable them to be life-long learners. In addition, a major in
history helps them become thoughtful and effective citizens of an
increasingly interconnected world.
