adjunct major/minor
adjunct major (10 units)
The SHC program offers an adjunct major, meaning that students who major in SHC must also fulfill the requirements of a departmental major. In consultation with the SHC director, students in the adjunct major develop a theme based on their particular interests. They then take 10 courses that match their interests, selected from the list of approved courses.
- Students must take 3 core course: 2 from among Hist 275-1, 275-2, 325, 376, 377; and 1 from among Phil 268, 326, Soc 205, 319.
- At least 6 of the 10 courses for the adjunct major must be at the 300 level.
- Up to 2 of the 10 courses may be double-counted toward another major.
- Course substitutions may be allowed with the consent of the SHC director.
minor (7 units)
The SHC program offers a minor field. In consultation with the SHC director, students in the minor develop a theme based on their particular interests. They then take 7 courses that match their interests, selected from the list of approved courses. Students must take at least 1 300-level seminar.
honors (12 units; i.e.: 9 courses, plus the three-quarter honors seminar)
Students enrolled in the SHC adjunct major may pursue honors. To do so, they must take 9 SHC courses and then write a senior thesis of high quality while taking the 3-quarter Honors Seminar SHC 398-1,2,3. Application to SHC 398 should be made in May of their junior year when the student supplies the SHC director with 1) a research proposal, 2) the consent of a faculty advisor interested in working with the student, and 3) a transcript indicating an GPA of 3.5 or greater both overall and within SHC. Students who complete their thesis with distinction may then be recommended for honors on the vote of the director of SHC, the student’s faculty advisor, and one other designated SHC faculty member. The final awarding of honors is made by the Committee on Honors of WCAS.
