The major program in history requires a minimum of 10 courses. These include:
Area of concentration
Five courses in an area of concentration--America, Asia or Europe. At least two of these five courses must be at the 300 level or above.
Outside the concentration
Three courses outside the area of concentration, one of which must be in each of the other two areas. One of the three courses may be in Latin American history, if the other two courses are in the two areas outside of the area of concentration.
Junior colloquium
Hist 302 is required of all majors in the first semester of the junior year, except those on LOA or approved study away, who must take it in the senior year.
Seminar
Hist 401 Seminars
No more than three 100-level courses shall be counted toward the major.
Occasionally, by permission of the department chair, students may substitute as an elective a course offered by another department.
Guidelines have been established for interdepartmental major programs combining history with art, economics, political science, philosophy or religion. The department also participates in a number of other interdepartmental or combined major programs including American Studies, Asian Studies, German, International Relations, Russian and Russian Studies, and Women's Studies.
