History - Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
This major is offered through the Department of History in the School of Arts and Sciences.
To graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in History, eleven courses are required. Of these eleven, at least two and no more than four courses must be at the 100- or 200-level; two must be junior research seminars (HIST 40x, HIST 41x, HIST 42x), ordinarily taken in consecutive semesters during the junior year); and one must be a senior thesis (HIST 496), taken in the first semester of the senior year. All remaining classes must be at the 300-level and above. At the end of the sophomore year students are formally accepted as history majors. All four HSHU courses (HSHU 101, HSHU 102, HSHU 203, HSHU 204) can count as 100-, 200- or 300-level HIST courses. In order to be accepted, a student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and grades of C or better in all history courses taken up to the point of acceptance.
