Program Description A majority of the history courses in this program are divided among three geographically distinct fields of concentration: American history, European history, and the history of Asia and the Middle East. Students of high motivation and interest, who wish to get the most out of their undergraduate study of history or who plan to do graduate work in history, are strongly urged to point themselves toward enrollment in the University Honors program and to consider undertaking a senior thesis. Faculty advisors will help students develop programs of study emphasizing honors courses pertinent to the major and will direct independent studies and honors theses. The History department encourages majors to consider taking a term abroad sometime during their junior or senior year. The opportunity to study a country’s or region’s history “on site” is invariably a broadening and deepening experience for history majors. Learning Outcomes: Students will demonstrate basic knowledge of modern world history at college level. Students will analyze, interpret, and critique primary sources. Students will analyze, interpret, and critique secondary sources. Students will conduct research on historical subjects in primary and secondary sources. Students will analyze statistical data, cultural sources, and maps. Students will make presentations and lead classroom discussions. Students will demonstrate familiarity with and proper use of digital sources. International Pathway Program Students should be advised that this is the Extended Plus 4-Semester Pathway option for this program. This pathway includes one or more semesters of Pre-Sessional English (dependent upon student proficiency level and progression in English courses) plus 3 semesters of Extended International Pathway. The International Pathway Program (IPP) is open to students who need to strengthen their English skills before studying a degree program in the USA. The IPP offers undergraduate students the additional support needed for their first year of university study. Students’ academic, social and personal success are ensured while in the program as they prepare to continue on to their degree. Each semester students will take a combination of Hartford academic courses (credited) and English courses (non-credit). Course options are dependent upon the required pathway. Once students have reached the required English level, they can progress to their program at the University of Hartford.
