Starting a History Club Chapter and Joining the NHC!     For over 16 years the National History Club has inspired students and teachers to start History Club chapters at middle and high schools throughout the United States. Members of local History Club chapters participate in local and national programs, and create their own projects and activities. To date, more than 600 History Club chapters at high schools and middle schools in 45 states have joined the NHC, and there are over 18,000 student members.  Schools are free to decide whether they will be regular History Clubs open to all students, or if they want to designate themselves History Honor Societies, where members must meet certain requirements with regard to GPA and honors classes. The NHC serves as a clearinghouse for all our enrolled chapters to share information and activities with one another through our tri-annual Newsletter and monthly eBlasts. We also run numerous award programs such as the National History Scholars Society, the "History Student of the Year", and the Lessons of Leadership contest to recognize the top students and chapters from around the country.   If you have a group of students who love history and want to get involved in a fun activity outside the classroom, we are the organization for you! For more information --- including our "How To Start a History Club" guide --- please contact Robert Nasson at rnasson at nationalhistoryclub.org  Start a Chapter Today!   |

Undergraduates can choose History as their primary concentration or secondary field as they work toward the AB degree. They may also choose to participate in one of three joint concentration programs: the Joint Concentration in Ancient History (Greek and Roman), the Joint Concentration in East Asian History, and the Joint Concentration in Near Eastern History. Our alumni pursue a wide range of career paths, including business, education, law, and public policy. At any given time, the Department has approximately 150-200 undergraduate concentrators.   Our highly selective Graduate Program trains students to become both skilled scholars and effective teachers. Students work closely with faculty as they engage in coursework, prepare for and take their general exams, work as teaching fellows, and complete their dissertations. Our graduates go on to a variety of successful careers in a range of fields, including academia, law, and government. At any given time, the Department has approximately 100-130 graduate students.   The Department has over 50 faculty members with a wide range of research specialties, spanning chronologically from ancient to twentieth century history, geographically from Asia to the United States, and thematically from intellectual history to global and transnational history. Their world-class scholarship garners awards, fellowships, and acclaim, strengthening the recognition of our department as a powerhouse of historical scholarship. Many of our faculty members share appointments with other departments and schools on campus and are involved in interdisciplinary collaborations with committees, programs, and institutions both at Harvard and around the world.    |
