The Undergraduate Program
The History Major is one of the largest on the Penn campus. Majors may choose to concentrate by regional or thematic area, or follow a general curriculum. The Department encourages history majors to study abroad, and supports research with both funding and awards. The Honors Program offers a challenging opportunity to plan and conduct a major research project. Penn students may also choose a Minor in History, or a Minor in Legal Studies and History.
