Planning Recommendations:
- History majors should consult the Catalog to select classes that fulfill departmental geographic distribution and level requirements.
- All history majors need to take HIST 298 by the end of their junior year. The ideal time is the spring of the sophomore year; it may also be taken in the spring of the junior year before the co-op.
- HIST 396 is ideally taken in the fall of the senior year, but may also be taken in the fall of the junior year before the co-op.
