DMP Information Session

The History DMP is a four semester program that begins in the fall of the third year with an intensive colloquium on historical methods and theory. The program culminates in the fourth year with the writing of a substantial research thesis. The topics of DMP theses are as diverse as our student’s historical interests. DMP students receive a B.A. in History with one of several levels of distinction. The department bestows special honors upon several of the top DMP theses during the graduation ceremony.

Students apply for the History DMP during the spring of their second year, regardless of whether or not they have already declared history as their major. Applications to the program are due on Monday March 29 no later than 4:00 pm. There are sixteen spaces available in the program; decisions on acceptance will be announced approximately two weeks after the application deadline. Students accepted into the DMP will enroll in the DMP Colloquium (HIST 4890) for fall semester.
