At least one course must deal with the pre-modern period.
Students thus have the opportunity to sample a breadth of fields and periods.
Students should familiarize themselves with the departmental requirement at the time of declaring the major. See page and the department chair for additional information. They will be required to turn in a 5-page prospectus of their project and attend several meetings during the fall semester to prepare for History 490. The paper must be in a geographic field different than the one that satisfied the History 300 requirement.
