The History Department supports several other programs:
- The Social Studies Education (see Social Studies Education description) major is appropriate for those considering a career in secondary (middle or high school) teaching. Students may double major in History and Social Studies Education and meet all requirements for the Minnesota secondary (5-12) teaching license in Social Studies.History courses required for the license include History 198; 199; either 191 or 195; and a level II History area course on Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Additional course work in Economics, Geography, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology/Anthropology are also required for the Social Studies Education major.
- The interdisciplinary concentration in Historical Perspectives enables students to create a coherent group of five courses (from within and outside the History Department) about a particular era, theme, or region of the world. See catalog description under Historical Perspectives for additional information.
- The Foreign Languages Across the Curriculum (FLAC) program offers students opportunities to integrate their foreign-language skills with the study of history. Students in specially designated history classes can use their Spanish, French, German, Russian, Chinese, or Latin so that nothing is lost to them in the translation! For more information regarding the FLAC program, see http://www.stolaf.edu/depts/flac/.
- History courses taken in off-campus programs can sometimes be counted toward the major.
Since some restrictions apply,- * students who wish to petition to count courses from study-abroad programs toward the major should consult Professor Judy Kutulas both prior to and after returning from study abroad.
- * students who wish to petition to count domestic off-campus courses toward the major should consult Professor Judy Kutulas.
- Historical internships with academic content may also be accepted for major credit. Some restrictions apply, so consult your History advisor or the Chair of the Department.
