Program Requirements
Use of 4xxx courses towards program requirements is not permitted.
The M.A. minor requires a minimum of two related courses in history (at least 6 credits) and a thesis with a historical dimension.
The Ph.D. minor requires a minimum of 4 history courses (at least 12 credits), HIST 8015, and a written examination or a substantial written project.
The M.A. minor in history typically involves a concentration in a single sub-area of history and the completion of a minimum of three graduate courses in history (6-credit minimum). Normally, there is a representative from the history department on the student's oral examining committee. The Ph.D. minor in history typically involves four to five history courses (including HIST 8015), and a written examination or substantial written project. The topic chosen must be logically related to the student's major work (must prepare for a written examination or substantial written project either in one general area and an associated sub area, or in two sub areas). One or two representatives from the history faculty must serve on the student's preliminary oral examining and thesis committees. The preliminary oral exam also serves as the exam for the minor.
