Student Profile
J.
Morgan Kuberry
Pleasantville, Pennsylvania
Majors: History, Theatre
"My professors helped me customize my education to fit my interests
and to take charge of my own learning experience."
J. Morgan Kuberry entered Allegheny with a promising combination of
interests: history, Medievalism, the Classics and drama.
“I’ve always been interested in history, particularly Medievalism
and Classics,” he says. “I was mildly interested in the theater
before I came here, but now I’ve found a way to combine the two
in a professional context, and as a result I’m more enthusiastic
about both.

The History Department
Major and Minor Programs
Major
Minimum of 42 semester credit hours (typically 10-11 courses)
in the department distributed as follows: one course each in European history,
American history and non-Western history, the Junior Seminar and the Senior
Project, as well as at least four upper-level electives.
Double and student-designed majors are encouraged.
While acknowledging that the accumulation of data plays
a part in the study of history, the department's major program places a greater
emphasis on the investigation-from various points of view-of the political,
religious, social, and economic ideas and institutions by which people have
endeavored since the dawn of civilization to order their world.
Minor
The department offers a general minor as well as specialized
minors in the fields of European, American, and non-Western History. A minimum
of 20 semester hours (5 courses) in history, including the Junior Seminar,
and at least eight semester hours at or above the 300-level.
