The UAH Department of History provides many opportunities for students to participate in history-related activities outside of the classroom.
Society for Ancient and Medieval Studies
The Society for Ancient and Medieval Studies is a community for those of all majors with an interest in ancient and medieval history and culture. Members have the opportunity to learn about a variety of ancient and medieval topics and present their own research. The club visits local exhibitions and lectures on relevant topics, as well as finding entertaining new ways to engage with the subject.
Phi Alpha Theta
Students who have taken four history courses, earned a 3.1 GPA in the history major and a 3.0 overall GPA are eligible for induction into the UAH chapter of the national history honorary, Phi Alpha Theta. From 1989-1994, our chapter of PAT won regional best chapter awards!
History Club
All students are welcome to join the History Club. Recent activities include excursions to Shiloh National Military Park, Cathedral Caverns, and the recently restored Russel-Erskine Hotel in downtown Huntsville. Other events include a costume party and an excursion to the Parthenon in Nashville sponsored jointly with the Society for Ancient Languages.
