The History Department offers a wide range of courses dealing with most of the worldfs major civilizations. The department offers four levels of courses: (1) for those beginning a serious study of history,
the Department has designed entry-level courses, History 101 through History 199. 100-level courses
are broad surveys and topical introductions to the study of history; (2) courses numbered 200-299 are
considered intermediate in difficulty. Students taking these courses are generally expected to enter them
with a firm grasp of fundamental historical facts and concepts; (3) 300-level courses are advanced, are
more focused and thematic in scope, require a higher level of preparation than 100-level and 200-level
courses, provide significant historiographical and theoretical content, and, with smaller enrollments,
provide opportunity for significant discussion and for substantive research papers. Prerequisites: The
Historianfs Craft (History 190), specific courses designated by the instructor, or permission of the instructor; (4) courses at the 400-level (tutorials, seminars, and theses) are reserved for the most advanced
engagement with historical research and writing. Prerequisite: The Historianfs Craft (History 190) or
permission of the instructor.
Majors in history in the Classes of 2006, 2007 and 2008
and a maximum of 14. Advanced Placement credits do not count toward that total. Two European
survey courses must be chosen from among the following: Rise of the Christian West to A.D. 1000
(HIST111); Emerging Europe, 1000-1500 (HIST112); Renaissance to Napoleon, 1500-1815 (HIST113);
and Napoleon to the European Union (HIST114). First-year students with Advanced Placement scores
of 4 or 5 in European History are exempted from this survey requirement and are allowed to take upper division courses in European history in their first year. Majors must take two United States history
courses for the major, one of which may be an American Themes course. Students who have scored 4
or 5 in their Advanced Placement test in American history are exempted from entry level courses but
must take two other U.S. history courses. Majors are required to take at least one course in the history
of Africa, Asia, Latin America or the Middle East. Majors must also take at least two Pre-Industrial/Pre-
Modern courses. (A list of Pre-Industrial/Pre-Modern courses is on the Departmentfs home page and is
available at the departmental office.)
