"This isn't the usual graduate course; here, the work you do for class and the primary sources you receive are immediately useful in your classroom."
The school-year program consists seminars, a workshop, and a Summer Institute. Four seminars are held at historic sites and combine content lectures, group activities, and site tours. The seminars and sites are:
- Frontiers and Borderlands: Native American History and the Settler Experience—The Newark Earthworks
- From Farm to Factory: Rural Life and the Impact of Industrialization—Malabar Farm
- Presidents and Politics: Ohio and American Political History—The Harding Home
- Dominion of War: American Military and Technological History—The Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum
Explore History participants will receive: (1) a $1,000 stipend, (2) three hours of non-degree graduate credit from the Ohio State University, (3) program materials, including books and primary source packets and CDs, (4) payment to their school for substitute days spent at the project's two Monday seminars, and (5) opportunities to interact with peers, professional historians and original collections material from the Ohio Historical Society.
