Student Seminars
Students majoring in History at PLU take two seminars as part
of their program, History 301 (Historical Methodology) and a
400-level capstone seminar in American, European, or non-western
history. Each seminar is limited to 15 students, and the
capstone seminars are only offered in Spring term.
Successful completion of History 301 is required for admission to
the capstone seminar.

well as one section of History 301. The following is a
