Explorations Beyond the Classroom:
EBC1.Studentswillbeabletoarticulatetheirexpectations,thepurpose,and/orthegoalsofthe
experienceintermsoftheirpersonaleducationaldevelopment.
Students articulate the rationale behind their choice of a research subject, the significance of their
subject, and the quality of their achievement of the basic skills employed in the course, including
their ability to develop an interpretation based on evidence, to discover and analyze source
material, to write clearly and effectively, and to communicate effective orally.
EBC2. Students will synthesize knowledge drawn from their coursework to address the
issues/challenges/questions involved in the experience.
Students' experience of developing the research project to its final form (research paper and, in some
classes, a research poster) involves the synthesis of the knowledge acquired at each stage of the
research process. This includes the close study of the presentation of historical argument and
evidence, and the acquisition of specific library research skills
EBC 3. Students will be able to communicate the impact or significance on their personal
educational development and on others in the profession or in the field at the conclusion of the
experience.
At the end of the semester, students submit a history paper based their research and share the results
of their work with the class.
All HST 400s serve as capstone courses for University Studies
purposes and are Writing Intensive
History and University Studies “Clusters”
Remember that all incoming students now need to develop a “thematic transdisciplinary cluster” of three
themed courses. (link tohttp://uncw.edu/universitystudies/thematictransdisciplinaryclusters.html)
OR
A minor
OR
A second major
History makes a great minor and pairs well with many other majors, but if you are working towards a cluster,
history courses are currently connected to the following “clusters:”
Ancient Thought and Culture—HST 101
Global Diversity—HST 104 and HST 367
Immigration—HST 106 and HST 340
Judaism and the Jewish People—HST 207, HST 208, and HST 385
