Both history majors and minors have the option to declare a “concentration,” which will allow them to build expertise in the history of a specific theme or geographical region, while still receiving a broad training in history. Declaring a concentration will be helpful to students who wish to focus their historical studies in a more structured way. Concentrations are also useful to put on resumes and job applications and to quickly explain to friends and family where one’s main interests are located.
Students can select from 16 different thematic and geographical concentrations. In order to complete a concentration, both majors and minors must complete at least 5 courses in their declared concentration. Students may declare only one concentration. To declare your concentration, click here.
