The major in history consists of a minimum of twenty-seven hours and must include HST 390
or 392, one course in premodern history, and a minimum of 5.5 hours in each of the following
three fields: European history; Latin American, Asian, or African history; and United States
history. History courses 101, 102, 103, 104, 390, 391, and 392 count toward the major but cannot
be used to meet the distributional or pre-modern requirements in the major.
Majors may include within the required twenty-seven hours up to six hours of advanced
placement or comparable work and up to six hours of any combination of individual study and
directed reading other than the hours earned in HST 397. The student must have a GPA of 2.0 in
history to graduate with the major.
A minor in history requires eighteen hours. Courses that the student elects to take pass/fail
do not meet the requirements for the major or minor.
Highly qualified majors should apply for admission to the honors program in history. To
be graduated with the designation “Honors in History,” the student must complete HST 391,
present an honors-quality research paper, successfully defend the paper in an oral examination,
