Dear History Majors,
The History Department offers a program of “Distinction in History.” Undergraduate majors who demonstrate outstanding academic accomplishment by successfully completing a senior thesis project, and by maintaining a 3.4 cumulative GPA through graduation, will earn this designation upon graduation. Juniors and seniors are eligible to participate.
The thesis is a substantial piece of research and writing carried out over two or more semesters. Such an accomplishment, distinguishing its author as an outstanding student, will provide a very impressive credential for those applying to graduate school or law school. The experience of thesis research and writing will also serve as valuable preparation for graduate-level coursework.
Sincerely,
Mark Schmeller
