Honors Projects

History students have actively participated in the Honors Program at É«ÖÐÉ« University. The Honors Program offers students of proven ability in their senior year the opportunity to pursue a year-long research project under the personal guidance of a faculty member whose own research is in that same area. Honors study in history is invaluable preparation for graduate and professional studies.
