History Major: Standard Concentration

(Note: This is the current curriculum, which is currently being replaced. If you have any questions, please visit the Advising FAQ or contact the history department.)

A history major at DePaul can be tailored to meet your needs, interests, and career goals. Besides the standard major, the History Department offers a Pre-Law concentration, designed for students whose career plans include law school or public service work.

By the time they graduate, all history majors are expected to have developed skills in the following five areas: analyzing primary sources, analyzing secondary sources, understanding context, conducting research, and presenting their ideas and findings effectively.

Common Core 199 Historical Concepts and Methods
397 Senior Seminar
200 Level Six courses.  One from each of the following categories:
United States
Europe
Latin America
Africa
Asia
Intercontinental/Comparative
300 Level Four courses.  Majors are encouraged to take these courses from at least two distinct geographic areas.
History Electives Four additional courses from either the 200 or 300 level
History majors will work with their faculty advisor to select courses that will enhance their historical knowledge. Six of these courses must have the faculty advisor's approval.
