Declaring a Major
Welcome to the History Department! We’re glad you’ve decided to major in History or Social Studies. The Department administers both BA degrees. Typically, students seeking to teach at the secondary level pursue a degree in Social Studies. All others complete the more traditional History major.
To have your status as a major made official, be sure to fill out a Declaration of Major form in the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Office.
