Additional Requirements
The department recommends that majors take the maximum permissible number of history courses in the General University Requirements program. Further, history majors are encouraged to enroll in Methods of Research and Analysis (Hist 398), which offers practical training in the tools of historical research. Students planning to declare a history major should do so at the earliest possible date.
It is strongly recommended that majors who elect a four-course history concentration in a field where languages other than English predominate take enough language study to become proficient in appropriate language(s). Students planning on graduate study in history are cautioned that many graduate schools require foreign language proficiency for admission. |
