Overview

The International History Major is offered by Georgetown University. Drawing on the interdisciplinarity of the SFS curriculum, IHIS majors develop a nuanced and critical understanding of the complex events and forces that inform the global present.

Key Facts

In the face of seemingly unprecedented world events such as a once-in-a-century pandemic, challenges to the liberal world order, resurgent authoritarianism, democratic backsliding and demands for racial and environmental justice, IHIS students are equipped with both the knowledge and perspectives critical to make sense of an increasingly complex present. Through their coursework and independent research projects, IHIS students will evaluate historical arguments, explore their implications for today and make their own evidence-based claims about the contours of global history. Students in the IHIS major will:

Approach the discipline of history as an ongoing conversation between sources, scholars and students
Analyze sources on the basis of their claims and the quality of their evidence
Trace major themes, issues and developments in comparative, international and global history
Formulate comparative questions and arguments about different societies and cultures

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Students who major in IHIS draw on the resources of SFS, the Department of History and other programs throughout Georgetown College to offer a diverse range of courses in fields as varied as anthropology, philosophy, sociology, political science, economics, religious studies and literature. A particular focus of the major is the history of international relations, a field in which Georgetown is especially rich in resources.
