The department offers a variety of survey courses (200 series, basically
for first- and second-year students) designed to serve as either
general education courses or as introductions to advanced courses
in history or other subject areas. The department also offers curricula
leading to the B.A. and B.S. degrees in history, the M.A. degree
in history, the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in the history of technology
and science, and the Ph.D. degree in agricultural history and rural
studies.
In addition to the survey (200-level) courses, advanced undergraduate
courses are offered in the history of Europe, Asia, Latin America,
the United States, technology and science, agriculture, and of some
selected topics.
Undergraduate Study
The History major. For a description of the undergraduate curriculum
with a major in History see Liberal Arts and Sciences, Curriculum.
The History major may earn either a bachelor of arts or bachelor
of science degree. Candidates for the B.A. must complete two years
of university-level study in one foreign language or the equivalent.
The minimum required for a major in history is 30 credits, of which
at least 24 must be in courses numbered 300 or above. A minimum
of 12 credits numbered 300 or above must be taken in residence at
Iowa State. All History majors must complete two enrollments in
Hist 495 (for R credit) or, if qualified and willing, one graduate-level
writing/research seminar. The history major prepares a student with
the ability to write and think clearly and to understand the nature
of social organization. It specifically prepares the student to
think chronologically, to understand past events in their relation
to the present, to carry out research with a variety of sources,
and to analyze and interpret past and present events. History majors
who choose minors in other departments usually select from such
complementary disciplines as Political Science, English, Sociology,
Psychology, Economics, Philosophy, or Foreign Languages and Literatures.
English proficiency requirement: History majors must receive a grade
of C or better in each of Engl 104 and 105 (or 105H), and Hist 495
or any graduate seminar.
For a description of the major in History as preparation for professional
programs, see Preprofessional Study. Students majoring in History
may also earn a second major in International Studies; see International
Studies.
Although the department does not require specialization, majors
and nonmajors may elect to group their courses in one of several
areas of emphasis. The following short list shows the department's
undergraduate courses by such areas of emphasis. Qualified undergraduates
may also take some 500-level graduate courses, with permission of
the instructor (see listing of graduate courses below). Consult
the main listing of courses for full description.
Europe: 201, 202, 305, 325, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 408, 410, 414,
417, 419, 421, 422, 424, 426, 431. Asia, Africa, Latin America:
207, 310, 311, 336, 337, 340, 341, 441.
United States: 221, 222, 307, 351, 352, 353, 354, 370, 450, 451,
454, 455, 458, 459, 462, 463, 464, 465, 469, 470, 471, 472.
Technology and Science: 280, 281, 284, 285, 323, 380, 387, 388,
482, 483, 484, 488, 489.
Agriculture: 365, 366, 460, 461.
Topical Courses: 374, 386, 389, 390, 490, 495.
Courses dealing with the history of technology and science have
been structured to offer a sequence leading from basic surveys through
courses in the history of particular technologies and sciences.
In this area of emphasis, it is recommended that students electing
Hist 482 or 483 have taken a basic survey in the history of technology
and science (either Hist 280-281 or 284-285) or have taken a college-level
course in an appropriate technology or science, or seek permission
of the instructor. An undergraduate emphasis in the history of technology
and science could include either Hist 281-282 or 284-285 and some
combination from Hist 323, 380, 387, 388, 482, 483, 484, 485, 488,
and 489.
The department offers a minor in History, which may be earned with
15 credits in History courses, of which at least 9 must be in courses
numbered 300 or above. A minimum of 9 credits numbered 300 or above
must be taken at Iowa State. The History minor is most frequently
chosen by students majoring in Political Science, English, Journalism,
Computer Science, and Business.
Graduate Study
Graduate students may take any 400-level history course except 490
and 495 for graduate credit. No more than 12 credits of 400-level
courses, however, may be used toward the minimum credits required
for a graduate degree in history. Additional work is required for
graduate credit in 400-level courses.
Most history graduate courses are either proseminars or seminars.
Proseminars acquaint students with the historical literature of
a field and prepare them for careers in teaching and research. Seminars
require students to conduct original historical research and to
write extensive research papers reporting the results.
The M.A. in history. For the M.A. in history, students may elect
a thesis or a nonthesis program. See the departmental brochure on
the M.A. in History for a full discussion of the options and requirements.
A student shall demonstrate proficiency in the use of a research
tool such as a foreign language, statistics, computer programming,
or the like, as prescribed by his or her advisory committee. The
M.A. in history program serves as the basis for continued study
in history, law, or business; preparation for teaching in high school
or junior college; preparation for government service; or as part
of a general education. For international students, a TOEFL score
of 600 is required at the time of admission.
The M.A. and Ph.D. in history of technology and science. The graduate
program in the history of technology and science examines the role
of technology and science in the formation of modern societies and
their attitudes toward people and the world. The program is structured
in a sequence of courses leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees.
Since these courses approach their subject in the context of social
and cultural change, they are also open to and appropriate for students
in engineering, the sciences, science education, and science journalism.
For a thorough description of the program requirements, see the
department's brochure on the history of technology and science program.
The Ph.D. in agricultural history and rural studies. The program
is designed as a Ph.D. program, but students without an M.A. in
history will be expected to qualify for the departmental M.A. in
history while progressing toward the doctorate. In some cases, the
M.A. may be recommended as the terminal degree. Thirty semester
hours of graduate credit are required for the M.A. and 72 for the
Ph.D. Students who continue beyond the M.A. are expected to pass
a qualifying examination in their general field of study and preliminary
examinations in three areas of specialization, complete a dissertation,
and defend it orally in the Ph.D. final examination. See the departmental
brochure on the program for a full description of requirements.
The following short list of the department's graduate courses is
organized by areas of emphasis; see the main listing for complete
descriptions. Courses at the 500 level are taken by graduate students
(major or minor) and, occasionally, by qualified undergraduates;
those at the 600 level are taken by graduate students (major or
minor) only.
