The goal of the History Program is to provide students with a quality and relevant educational experience through a resourceful program of instruction, research and advisement. The program attempts to increase

significantly students’ understanding of the historical forces at work in the world in an effort to prepare them for a wide variety of options for advanced training and careers.

OBJECTIVES

The following objectives of the History Program are supportive of the goals of the College of Education, Humanities and Social Sciences: 1. To prepare students for competitive job placement in the domestic

and international arenas;

2. To prepare students for graduate and professional schools; 3. To prepare students who are competent teachers of history and

social studies; and

4. To prepare students for life in an increasingly complex world by acquainting them with the human past and present conditions so that they can better shape the future.

PROGRAM OFFERINGS

The History Program offers courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree in History and History/Social Studies Education. Minors are offered in History and Black Studies

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

A GRADE OF “C” OR BETTER IS REQUIRED FOR ALL HISTORY COURSES IN THE STUDENT’S CURRICULUM. WHERE A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IS INDICATED, TWO YEARS IN THE SAME LANGUAGE ARE NECESSARY TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENT.

MAJOR AND MINOR PROGRAMS

History—The history major provides the student with a solid liberal arts background. In addition to acquainting the student with fundamental developments in the human past, particularly American, European and African History, it offers students an opportunity to develop their skills in analysis, synthesis, research and reasoning—in short, the student learns how to think effectively. The history major who successfully completes the curriculum has mastered the skills appropriate for entering business, government, law school or graduate school.

Requirements: Those who major in History must complete 42 semester hours. Fifteen hours consist of H 103, 104, 250, 251, and 430. The student will select six hours of African American history from H 220, 315, 316, and 406; nine hours of U.S. history from H 223, 224. 234,

300, 301, 307, 324, 330, 331, 412, and 420; and twelve hours of non U.S. history from H 310, 312, 332, 333, 402, 403, 404, 405, and 415. However, each major must have at least three hours of African history, three hours of European history, and three hours of Latin American history.

History/Social Studies Education—The thrust of the history major with the teaching option is to prepare the student to teach History and Social Studies at the secondary level in education. In addition to providing an understanding of historical developments, this curriculum requires a sound familiarity with teaching methods and current and past developments in education. Students who select this option are, of course, prepared to teach, but they are not limited to that single choice. Such a student can choose a career in business, government or law.

Requirements: Those who major in History/Social Studies Education must complete thirty-three semester hours in history, six of which consist of the American History survey (H 103, 104) and six consist of the two-semester world civilizations survey (H 250, 251). Students also complete courses in South Carolina history (H 301), History Research Methods (H 200), and the History Seminar (H 430). In addition, they choose at least one course in each of the following areas: African history, American history prior to 1877, African-American history, and European History.

Minor. Students who wish to minor in History must complete twenty-four semester hours, six of which consist of the American History survey (H 103, 104), six of which consist of the History of World Civilizations survey (H 250, 251), six of which consist of courses in African or African-American History, and six of which are elected by the student.

Black Studies—The minor program in Black Studies is designed to provide students an in-depth understanding of the black experience in America. The minor in Black Studies requires completion of eighteen hours including three hours in African History, and three hours in Black Politics.

Suggested General Electives

The History Program is committed to the pursuit of academic excellence and intellectual growth and development. We wish to develop students who are keen, critical thinkers. Our students should also be well rounded, enlightened and socially responsible. No course taken as remedial work, e.g. English 100, can be used as an elective. We believe that such individuals are developed when they are provided a broad liberal education. To this end, we encourage History majors to choose from a broad list of course offerings in selecting general electives. The following courses are suggested as general electives:

CJ 321 - The American Court System PSY 402 - Social Psychology

SOC 310 - Cultural Anthropology SOC 311 - Racial and Ethnic Minorities

E 301 - Contemporary Literature Advanced College Grammar and Composition

E 308 - Introduction to Journalism E 313 - Creative Writing
