Overview

Students pursing a History major at Hollins University don’t rely on a rote mastery of facts. They learn how to analyze primary sources and formulate original ideas. The History Major program favors seminars over classroom lectures for most courses.

Quick Facts:

Our faculty, trained primarily in the history of Europe and the United States, take a transnational perspective in a majority of their courses, which cover such topics as "Slavery: A Global History" and "Sex and Race in the Age of Empire."

Most courses are discussion rather than lecture-based and encourage deep engagement with primary sources.

While 100-level courses introduce students to the craft of historical thinking, at the 200 and 300 level students also gain research experience.

The culmination of the major is a senior thesis capstone in which students develop their own topic, draw on relevant primary sources, and engage with important scholarship in the field to produce their own original scholarship.
