<p>Any Columbia history majors on this site?</p>
<p>i majored in history at columbia, and have continued on to a phd program in history. if you have questions i am happy to answer.</p>
<p>I am currently majoring in history. My focus is on Medieval History (intellectual history).</p>
<p>Ah nice! I am planning on transferring somewhere for to major in history. My current school’s history major is a joke. I am leaning towards a Latin America, Caribbean, or African American focus. How have you guys seen these focuses presented at Columbia? I am also interested in the political and economic history of a variety of “third-world” countries. I wish I could do a minor in economics, but that would not be possible if the slight chance I am accepted to Columbia occurs. Quite wonderfully though, I have done a couple of the core classes without even knowing it at my current college. Also, how are internship opportunities? Are there many opportunities to pursue archival work and research?</p>
