A grade of C- or above is required in each course and at least 18 of the 30 semester hours must be taken on the advanced level (course number 100 or above). The department also strongly recommends that students take courses in other departments that relate closely to historical subjects in which they are particularly interested. It is highly desirable that students acquire skills in reading and speaking a language other than English, taking their level of proficiency beyond the minimum university requirement.
*HIST 020, 014F, or 014S is a prerequisite for each course and both HIST 102 and 103 should ordinarily be taken in the first and/or second year of study in preparation for taking Seminar in junior or senior year.
