Requirements for Major in History
The core and distribution requirements for a major in history are those listed for baccalaureate degrees with the exception that a course in literature or philosophy is required to fulfill the humanities distribution requirement.
Advanced placement for U.S. History Survey I or II or European Survey allows students to immediately enroll in 200- and 300-level history electives. Students will still need to take 39 credit hours in history, but they are exempted from taking HIS 111, HIS 112 or HIS 214 if they have taken an advanced placement course in the corresponding area. The advanced placement hours awarded will be credited to the graduation requirement of 126 hours.
