Yes, that it the intent of the curriculum for the department. Each level (1000 through
4000) requires longer and more complex research and writing assignments. You need,
therefore, to take HIST 3410 after you have completed HIST 1010 and HIST 1020, and
while you are completing HIST 2010 and 2020. According to current departmental policy,
issuance of cuts will go first to sophomores, then juniors, then seniors. HIST 3410
is meant to be the FIRST upper-level class you take, NOT the last.
