Track 1. American History

Concentration Tracks (4 courses, 12 credits)

Your history program will likely focus in a certain track: American History, European History, History of Women and Gender, History and the Law, African and African-American History, Public History, Asian History, Latin American History. You will choose from within one of the tracks, developing a program, in consultation with your advisor, to reflect your interests.

History Courses Outside the Concentration (4 courses, 12 credits)
200 Level or above

These courses should be chosen through discussion with an advisor. The main goal is to broaden understanding by turning a student's attention toward people and parts of the world outside the area of concentration. For example, students with a concentration in History and the Law could satisfy this requirement by taking certain courses in African History, History of Women and Gender, or Latin American History.
