All history majors at WOU engage in a capstone experience.<\/strong>\u00a0Each student will apply the historical craft to a topic appropriate to their preparation in previous coursework in this discipline and produce, by the end of the senior year, a polished senior thesis\/analytical paper that demonstrates their highest level of professional skill as graduates in this field. Each student is expected to initiate and nurture professional relationships with peers, advisors and critics as part of an academic process that will yield the student\u2019s best work at this university in the field of history. Students will complete this process either working on a traditional senior thesis or through an internship experience coordinated through the Oregon State Archives in Salem.<\/span><\/p>\n

The university provost had requested that each academic department develop a means to ascertain whether its majors had achieved the goals of its program. The history faculty quickly recognized that the research, interpretation, and writing were the goals and competencies we wished that our majors achieve. To this end, the faculty created the Senior Seminar. In this course students undertook research projects of their choice, worked closely with professors in developing the project, and then wrote journal-length articles.<\/span>To help students develop their research, interpretive, and writing skills, the faculty also created a junior-level course titled, \"History Research and Writing.\" Furthermore, in all upper division courses faculty emphasize the above-mentioned competencies.\r\n\r\nJohn L. Rector\r\nProfessor of History<\/span>\r\n
\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAll history majors at WOU engage in a capstone experience.<\/strong> Each student will apply the historical craft to a topic appropriate to their preparation in previous coursework in this discipline and produce, by the end of the senior year, a polished senior thesis\/analytical paper that demonstrates their highest level of professional skill as graduates in this field. Each student is expected to initiate and nurture professional relationships with peers, advisors and critics as part of an academic process that will yield the student\u2019s best work at this university in the field of history. Students will complete this process either working on a traditional senior thesis or through an internship experience coordinated through the Oregon State Archives in Salem.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
