TO MAJOR IN HISTORY, students must complete 42 credits of courses. These courses must include the basic departmental surveys, 510:101,102 (Western Civilization I and II), and 512:201,202 (Development of the United States I and II). They must also include 510:299 (Perspectives on History, which students are strongly urged to take no later than the sophomore year) and one seminar from among 50:510:481,482 and 50:512:481,482.
The remaining 24 credits should be distributed as follows: at least 12 at the 300-400 level; at least 6 (of the 24) in the 510 area; at least 6 (of the 24) in the 512 area. Students who wish to major in history are advised that, because only a limited number of courses are offered in the evening, they may have to take day session and summer session history courses to complete their major requirements in a timely fashion.
Those students seeking certification in teaching should be aware that a requirement is to take a course from a selection dealing with human and intercultural relations. Several history courses may be counted for this purpose and for the history major.
Grades lower than C do not count toward fulfillment of the history major requirement.
If you have any questions about majoring in history or about transferring credit received for history courses taken at other schools, drop in and visit us in our offices. We would also be very happy to talk with you about what we have to offer and the ways in which it might fit into your plans for an interesting and profitable education.
