History Notes

* See "Core." History courses taken to satisfy core requirements also count toward the history major.

† Some students may need to begin language courses at a lower level.

1. Requirements for the major include at least six hours in U.S. history; six hours in European history; six hours in Latin American, Asian, Middle Eastern or African history; and three hours in a course covering the period before A.D. 1500. At least 15 hours must be at the 40000 or 50000 level. Grades in history courses must be a "C-" or higher to count toward the major.
2. History majors must take HIST 39500 (Junior Research Seminar).
