Civitae Core Requirements (39-40 credits)
Civitae Core
History majors may count Core courses satisfying major requirements as also satisfying their respective Civitae Core requirements, up to two Pillar courses and one Perspectives course. The following are the courses in this major that may be used in this way:
- HIST 125 and HIST 126 can satisfy the Global Citizenship Pillar requirement, for students who place into a 211-level language course or above
- HIST 221 , among others, can satisfy the Historical and Contemporary Insights Pillar requirement
Courses satisfying major requirements that are designated as Civitae Core courses subsequent to the print deadline of this Catalog will not appear in the above listings but will be eligible to also satisfy Civitae Core requirements, subject to the same rules as the others. (If doing so would otherwise decrease the total credits required for the degree below 120, General Elective credit must be substituted to restore the total.)
Transfer students go to Transfer Student General Education for requirements.
Additional Degree Requirements (3 credits)
In addition to the courses required for the Civitae Core Curriculum Program, students completing the History BA Degree are required to take one additional course in either the Humanities or Foreign Language.
Major Requirements (41-44 credits)
As noted above, some courses that meet major requirements are also designated as Civitae Core Curriculum courses; such courses taken to meet Civitae Core requirements will be considered to also satisfy the associated major requirements (up to two Foundations pillars and one Perspective course).
Foundation Requirements (10-13 credits) (Plus 3-6 credits included in Core Curriculum)
