Majoring and minoring in History at UWM can involve more than just accumulating the required number of credits. We hope that you will become actively involved in the life and work of the Department in ways that will make your undergraduate career more interesting and rewarding. Majors have the opportunity to serve on our Undergraduate Affairs Committee and play a role in shaping policies that affect the curriculum and all matters related to the major. Undergraduate students with a 3.0 minimum overall GPA and 12 or more credits in History classes are also eligible to become members of Phi Alpha Theta, the national honor society. For more information, see the PAT web site: www.uwmpat.org.
The History Department also offers competitive grants and awards to undergraduates. The Miller Grants provide an opportunity for History majors to receive support for their own research projects. The McGovern Awards honor the exceptional written work of undergraduate History students, and senior History majors are eligible to compete for the Willliam A. Renzi Memorial Scholarship.
