PHI ALPHA THETA
The international honor society for students in history, Phi Alpha Theta, was
founded at the University of Missouri in 1921, and now has over 800
chapters at colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, and
other countries. Manhattan College acquired its chapter, Delta Theta,
in 1951. Phi Alpha Theta recognizes and encourages excellence in
history, awarding prizes for student essays and assistance for graduate
school programs. In addition, its annual regional conferences and
biennial national conferences provide an opportunity for students and
faculty to present papers, describe their research, and discuss career
prospects.
To qualify for admission to the Delta Theta chapter of Phi
Alpha Theta, students must have completed 12 credits of history with a
minimum 3.2 grade point average, and also have an overall cumulative
average that places them in the top one-third of their class.
