Grade Requirement

No grade lower than a “C-” in a history (HIST) course may be used to fulfill the requirements of the history major. Students receiving a “D” or lower in a history course may continue as history majors but must either retake and successfully complete the course (with a minimum grade of “C-“) or must successfully complete another course that fulfills the same required “area” for the major.

Course Requirements

Only six credits of 100-level and three credits of 200-level courses may be applied toward the history major.

History majors may register for up to three 400-level history courses in a single semester. Consent of their advisor or department chairperson is required for students seeking to enroll in more than three 400-level history courses.

Additionally, no more than six credits from any combination of credits earned from HIST 498 - Internship in History  and/or HIST 499 - Directed Study in History  may be used toward the credits required for the major.

Total minimum credits: 39
