History courses at the100 level deal with events and processes that affect human societies
over long periods of time and across broad geographical areas not confined to national
boundaries. History courses at the 200 level examine a single cultural or national entity,
or a clearly related group of such entities (usually a century or more). History courses at
the 300 level are focused temporally or topically.
History majors are encouraged to develop a degree of competence in one or more
foreign languages and to use this competence in their historical reading and
research. Knowledge of a foreign language is particularly important for students
planning graduate work. Students contemplating graduate work are urged to take
at least three units in one foreign language.
In addition, the faculty strongly recommends for majors an off-campus experience
and HI 498 Teaching Experience in History where feasible.
