Students majoring in History must select either a General Concentration or one of the Secondary Education Concentrations. The General Concentration requires the completion of a minor in a discipline other than History. The Secondary Education Concentrations are for students seeking licensure to teach secondary school social studies. All concentrations within the major require a minimum of 42 semester hours, including 15 semester hours of core courses and an additional 27 semester hours in courses primarily selected from three different categories. All students should check with a departmental advisor in order to make a proper selection of courses.
