Humanities Major/History Concentration The Department of History, Government & Social Science offers a History concentration for the Humanities major (see Humanities section for specifics). It is basically a minor in History, but more flexibility is possible through department advisement. History Honors Program This program is designed for senior history majors and for those who have history concentrations in social science and humanities. It is designed as a year–long, independent research project under faculty supervision. Students who are a few units short of senior standing may petition the chairman for admission into the Honors Program. Students entering the program must have 15 units of upper division history. History majors with a departmental GPA of 3.5 or better are eligible. Candidates for honors will be required to meet all history major requirements: the program will count as six units of work (see 490, 491). The J.O. Henry Prize will be given annually for the outstanding paper in the disciplines of History, Political Science or Social Science. History: Secondary Instruction Concentration The Department of History, Government & Social Science offers a major in History with a Secondary Instruction Concentration. Students who wish to pursue a career in teaching in secondary education are required to take HIST 107, HIST 207 and PHIL 215 (Intro to Ethics) to meet General Education (GE) requirements. Additionally students must take 42 units in History and Political Science, including: POSC 203, POSC 225, HIST 208, HIST 327, HIST 402, HIST 403, HIST 470 (Studies in History: CSET EXAM PREP COURSE), HIST 360, POSC 406, HIST 480 or HIST 490/91, and 9–12 other upper division units in History (3 of which must be in Religious History and 3 of which must be in Regional Studies).

In order to complete this program, students must: 1) fulfill all of the requirements of the History: Secondary Instruction Concentration program; 2) Take the required LEDU courses; 3) Take a CSET prep course in History or pass the exam prior to the first semester of the junior year. However, the student will earn their B.A. degree in History whether they pass the CSET or not.
