Degree Programs

We offer two majors and minors (history and history for secondary teaching) that fit well with many double-majors.

There's also the option of a formal French/history double major to accommodate a broad range of interests and the career goals of its majors and other interested students. A major in classical studies combining work in history, classical languages, art and philosophy courses is available through the Department of World Languages and Cultures.
