What is a senior seminar (HIST 494 and HIST 498)?
The senior seminar is the capstone course for History majors and should provide a forum for students to synthesize information from previous History courses, hone historical skills, and produce a 15- to 20-page research paper or its equivalent. You will usually take the senior seminar in the last year of study, but you must have completed HIST 388 before enrolling in HIST 494 or 498.
