Undergraduate program

The Georgetown History Department offers a rich choice of  courses to undergraduate students. The Department is unusually  varied in the areas it covers: our large Faculty includes  specialists on virtually every major region in the world, and we  offer courses at both the introductory and the advanced levels on  all periods of history and most areas of the world.  We also offer  many courses that present thematic, comparative, and global  perspectives.  Majors and minors enjoy considerable freedom to  focus their work on their own areas of interest and to design  programs that complement the rest of their academic work; students  from all other majors can also easily link history courses with  their studies in politics, international affairs, literature, world  cultures, the arts, and the social sciences.

Phi Alpha Theta is the National History Honor Society. Georgetown's Chapter, Beta Pi, was founded in 1948. We invite all students interested in history to learn more about Phi Alpha Theta and Beta Pi.
