Courses

The History Department offers a wide variety of courses. European and U.S. History survey courses (HIST 101, 102, 201, 202) are offered every semester. HIST 121 is offered every Fall and HIST 122 is offered every Spring.

Upper-division courses (300 and 400 level) are offered on a rotation basis; check with the department for a list of courses slated for an up-coming semester.

Some courses are double-listed with a “500” denomination. They can be taken at the graduate level (the history department does not currently have a master’s program).
