When advising a student interested in History, please note:

• All History 100 and 200-level courses require no previous history background and are appropriate for freshmen and sophomores.
• Students are strongly encouraged to take two courses at the lower level (100 or 200-level courses) before enrolling in a 300-level course. Most 300-level courses are restricted to SO/JR/SR.
• Most 300-level courses, and all 500-level courses, have specific prerequisites, which are listed in the Academic Bulletin and on WebAdvisor.
• Most 100-level survey courses are offered every year. The 200-level courses are usually offered every other year, and many 300-level courses are offered every other year.

Requirements for the Major or Minor in History – see Academic Bulletin.

Notes: A maximum of two transferred courses (8 credits) taken at institutions of higher learning or at secondary institutions through the AP or IB programs may normally be counted toward the Major. AP and IB courses may NOT be counted towards the Major’s European, American, and non-Western requirements.

If you have additional questions about the Major or Minor in History, please contact the Chair of the Department of History, Professor Judson Herrman
