History majors, History Certificate students, and prospective students can set up advising appointments through the History Starfish page. Students can also email Jim Graettinger (Academic Advisor), Scott Burkhardt (Academic Advisor), Christina Matta (Career Advisor), and the Undergraduate Peer Advisors directly.
The History Department’s Undergraduate Program is located in the main History Department office in 3211 Mosse Humanities Building. We are on the third floor in the northeast corner of the building (closest to Memorial Library). Our staff can answer questions about what classes to take, graduation requirements, post-graduation plans, and many other topics!
