THE MAJOR:

A student majoring in history must take a minimum of 11 units including an introductory course, courses from three world regions arranged in a 4-3-2 pattern, and a two-block exit-level sequence. One unit from the introductory level (HY 104, 105, 110) and one from the exit level (HY 409, 410, 415, 416, 420) may be counted toward the appropriate region. The three regions are Europe, United States , and World (Latin America and Africa, Russia/Eurasia, the Islamic World, and Asia ). Students must take:

·        either HY 110 Historical Studies (1 unit) or HY 104 Culture, Society, and History (2 units) or HY 105 Civilization in the West (2 units).

·        HY 399 Studying History.

·        HY 410 Advanced Seminar

·        HY 420 Senior Essay or 415, 416 Senior Thesis.

·        at least one area course at the 300-level

·        a coherent spread of courses in the various culture areas, including 4 in one region, 3 in another, and 2 in the third

 

The objective of course distribution is to enable students to encounter histories of different parts of the world and to engage in advanced work in one major culture area. Students may submit a portfolio including transcript, HY399 essay and a senior thesis or a senior essay for consideration for distinction. Foreign language competence beyond the second-year level — or, in the case of some research topics, relevant collateral competence such as statistics — is strongly advised as part of essay or thesis preparation
