Students may count a maximum of six of these credits toward their major. The 300-level courses may be chosen by students who believe they have sufficient background in a subject, whether they intend to major or minor in the department or if they are selecting the course as an elective. Note that in addition to the second-year course in classical Greek, students may choose to read New Testament in their second year. The best student enrolled in GREE 102 will be the recipient of the Anne Marye Owen Prize, which carries a substantial cash award. All history courses satisfy the College area requirement in Historical Studies.
Students have considerable leeway in selecting history courses.
These courses are described in the Undergraduate Record. If you are uncertain about whether to enroll in a 300-level course, consult the instructor for more information. HIUS 201 or 202 is recommended. They are intended especially for students who have earned AP credit in history. Topics for the sections vary every semester.
