Your Primary Field (4 courses): Students choosing fields within categories 1-4 as their primary field will take four courses. Those choosing fields 5, 6 or 7 may take four courses in that field, or take three courses in the field with one additional course that is of relevance to the field. This additional course will be chosen in consultation with the adviser.

Your Two Secondary Fields (2 courses each):  Each major must also take two courses in each of two secondary fields (12+12 credits).

The Research Seminar, History 395 - required 6-credit course, usually taken in the your primary field. Counts toward the senior research seminar requirement and can also be counted towards a field. Although History 395 fulfills two major requirements, the 6 credits count only once!

Finally, also required to complete the History major are the following courses. They count toward your total number of 72 required History credits, but don't count towards any fields:
  H298 Junior Colloquium, (6 credits)
  H397 Senior Research Proposal (3 credits for Class of 2013 ONLY; registration eliminated after 2013)
  H398 Advanced Historical Writing (6 credits)
  H400 Comps Project (3 cr for class of 2013), (6 credits for classes 2014 & beyond)
