美国是一个留学大国，每年有众多留学生到美国求学。美国有诸多世界名校，圣路易斯华盛顿大学是其中之一。它有哪些本科专业呢?它的历史专业怎么样?和出国留学网来看看吧!
This is an exciting time to be studying history. The transition to the 21st century has prompted intense questioning about the past, the future, and the nature of change. Many old certainties and conventional wisdoms have been challenged, and America’s role in an increasingly complex and contentious world demands that we, as citizens, acquire the skills that will allow us to analyze and comprehend that world.
这是个学习历史的兴奋时刻。过渡到21世纪，关于过去、未来、变化的本质的问题接踵而来。诸多古老确定的东西而传统智慧一起，受到了挑战，而美国在日益复杂且备受争议的世界中的角色要求我们，作为公民，掌握我们借以可以分析和理解那个世界的技能。
This is precisely what the study of history—of human experience contextualized temporally, culturally, politically, and geographically—is designed to do. The History Department at Washington University offers you the opportunity to examine human experience across time and in a wide variety of cultural, political, regional, and social contexts. The curriculum is global in scope, and students are encouraged to sample courses across time and space while achieving depth of knowledge in selected areas.
这正是历史研究的所在——学习人类的现世经验、文化经验、政治经验和地理学经验。华盛顿大学历史系为你提供从时间、文化、政治、区域、社会等角度考察人类经历的机会。历史系的课程范围涵盖全球，在让学生获得选定领域深度知识的同时，鼓励学生尝试各时空阶段的课程。
Through the major in history, you also can develop important analytic skills used in law, business, communications, and other professions. These skills include the ability to organize and interpret data, to develop logical and convincing arguments, to do research and sift the significant from the insignificant, to read for comprehension, and to write with precision and clarity. Historians aim for a broad understanding of any problem and gain empathy for people in different times, places, and situations.
通过历史专业的学习，你还可以培养重要的人分析技能，将它应用到法学、商务、传播和其他领域中。这些包括组织和诠释数据能力、逻辑辩论能力、研究和过滤无用信息能力、阅读理解能力和准确清晰写作能力。史学家的目标在于获得对任何问题的广泛理解，与各时段、各地方、各出境中的人们产生共鸣。
Program Requirements
All University College undergraduate students must satisfy the same general-education requirements. Requirements specific to this major include:

One additional introductory course, 100- or 200-level History course.
课程要求
所有大学学院本科生必须满足同样的一般教育要求。本专业的特殊要求包括：

2.Advanced Level Courses
At least 18 units of 300- or 400-level courses, to include:

2.高级课程
至少18个单元的300或400级课程。包括：
A.至少学习一门指定的“前现代”课程和一门指定的“现代”课程。
B. 至少学习一门关于以下地区中的三个地区的课程：非洲、东亚、南亚、欧洲、拉丁美洲、中东、美国、跨地域历史。
* A transregional course includes more than one of the designated geographic areas. If a student chooses to count a transregional course towards the geographical requirement, at least one of the two other geographical areas must cover a region that is not included in the transregional course. For example, a student who has completed courses in U.S. and Latin American history could not count towards this requirement a transregional course that examines the comparative history of the U.S. and Latin America.
跨地域课程包括两个及以上的指定地区。如果学生选择将跨地域课程算入地理要求，那么其他两个地域中至少要有一个不在跨地域课程涵盖的区域内。例如，学生已修完美国和拉丁美洲历史课程，就不能将这项要求计入考察对比美国和拉丁美洲历史的跨地域课程里。
3.A capstone experience (Research Seminar)
Research Seminars are upper-level, limited-enrollment courses that emphasize engagement with primary sources. Course assignments will feature texts and images from a variety of published and manuscript materials, and students will research and write a substantial paper over the course of the semester from independently selected and analyzed primary sources. All research seminars will be so designated in the course title.
3.顶石经历(研究研讨课)
研究研讨课是高等级、有注册名额限制的课程，强调第一手来源。课程任务突出从各种出版物和手稿中摘取文本和图像，学生需要参考研究自己独立收集和分析的第一手材料，写作当前学期课程论文。所有研究研讨课都将在课程标题中如此指定。
