A total of 42 credits (usually 7 courses) is required for the concentration: 18 credits in Core courses, 18 credits in Supporting courses; and a capstone seminar.

Optional Off-Campus Programs: Off-campus study can be an important part of the concentration. Students interested in study abroad as part of the concentration are advised to consult with their academic advisors in deciding when to go off-campus and with the concentration coordinators to discuss the range of programs available and potential programs of study. Courses taken abroad may count as up to two "core" courses (12 credits) and two "supporting courses" (12 credits). Coordinators are happy to assist you in finding the right program for your interests.

The concentration is open to students majoring in ANY field who wish to expand their knowledge of these important and fascinating periods of human history.
