The undergraduate history programs at St Andrews and William & Mary are equally rigorous and renowned. Students enrolled in the joint degree program gain from the distinct advantages of both institutions' exceptional history departments. St Andrews excels in medieval and early modern European studies, Scottish and English history, British Empire studies, and Middle Eastern scholarship. William & Mary provides focused expertise in early American history, modern American and European studies, along with substantial course offerings in early modern Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Beyond specializing in specific historical fields across both universities, joint degree students benefit from experiencing contrasting teaching methodologies - William & Mary's lecture-discussion format differs markedly from St Andrews' traditional small seminar style. The program culminates with students completing an ambitious research project designed to yield a polished, scholarly work of exceptional quality.
