这个项目
本专业核心课程为51学分, which consists of a well-integrated combination of courses designed to provide students with training in history and in the specific field of public history. The goal of the program is to provide a structured framework of courses and allowance for some flexibility to reflect personal interests. The public history major provides students with a solid foundation in history content and methodology and introduces them to the sub-fields of public history. A crucial part of the program is an approved internship of nine credit hours at a historical agency, often at local 博物馆 such as Bonanzaville in West Fargo or the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County at the Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead, 明尼苏达州. The internship is an opportunity for practical, on-the-job experience in public history.
