The decision of the director of undergraduate studies is final in matters of transfer credit. Students are expected to declare history majors before the end of their fourth semester at the University and after the completion of at least one history course with a grade of C or better. Students may not declare history as a first major after the end of their fifth semester. These courses may be taken at any level and need not be the first five courses that a student takes. Must pursue a particular subject in depth through a seminar or colloquium for which they have been adequately prepared.
Preparation normally means at least two courses related to the topic of the seminar or colloquium.
Preparatory courses may be taken outside the history department but such courses may not be counted toward the major. Students must attain a grade of C or better in the history seminar or colloquium. At least five courses must be numbered 300 or above. All majors are required to consult with their major advisors at least once per semester. All AP credit accepted by the University applies fully to the 120 hours required for graduation but no student receives more than one major course credit for AP examination results.
