    We encourage History majors to consider pursuing an Honors degree, and encourage Honors students to
    consider majoring in History. The Honors Track in History offers many options for completing both in a timely
    fashion, with only a minimum of 3 additional credits beyond the 33 required for the History major. First, students
    must qualify for and apply to the UHM Honors Program.

    Selected Studies
    Students in their first two years can explore Honors History in the following courses:

    HIST 161A World Cultures in Perspective to 1500. Meets FGA.

    HIST 162A World Cultures in Perspective from 1500. Meets FGB.

    HON 291H topical sections. Those taught by History faculty can be counted as a lower division
    History course in the appropriate field (note limits in the major on lower division courses). Recent
    and current examples:
    Dr. Saundra Schwartz, Reacting to the Past (role-playing)
    Dr. Karen Jolly, Medieval/Modern: Lord of the Rings and Monty Python

    Upper Division Honors
    History majors can fulfill the Honors program requirements with the following options:

    HON 491 (Junior Seminar) or History graduate class (600-level) (3 credits)
    Students who take an Honors 491 Junior Seminar may count it as one of the eleven required
    History courses. If the course is taught by a History faculty member, it may be counted in the
    appropriate field for the major; otherwise it may be counted as the one additional course for the
    major.
    Alternatively, History majors can fulfill the Honors 491 Junior Seminar requirement by
    taking a History graduate reading course (topics vary each semester), with the instructors permission
    and subject to department rules. It may be counted in the appropriate field for the major or as the
    one additional course for the major.

    HON 495 or HIST 396 or HIST 602 (3 credits)
    Students may take any one of the following to fulfill simultaneously the Honors and History
    required methods course:
    HON 495 Introduction to Research
    HIST 396 Introduction to the Study of History
    HIST 602 Seminar in Historiography (with instructor permission and subject to department
    rules).

    HON 496 Senior Honors Project (6 credits) or HON 496 and HIST 496 (6 credits)
    The two-semester capstone research project in Honors can be combined with the senior
    thesis capstone project required for History majors. Students who take both semesters in Honors
    496 should make sure they have a History faculty member advising them on their topic in the first
    semester proposal stage. Students who opt to take HIST 496 are advised to do so as their second
    semester after taking HON 496 for the first semester proposal stage, in consultation with a History
    faculty advisor.
