Comprehensive Examinations in the major and minor fields: Portfolio and Thesis Defense Under the graduate curriculum approved by the Department of
History in 2002, Public History students will submit a Portfolio
instead of writing a comprehensive examination in their major
field. For more information on this requirement, see Portfolio
Guidelines on the Public History Program website. The new curriculum
also mandates an oral defense of the thesis instead of a written
comprehensive exam in the minor field. In this oral examination,
students are expected to demonstrate mastery of both the thesis
topic and the relevant historiography in the minor field more
generally. Oral Defense of Thesis: Date: ________________ Grade: Pass/Fail |
