Starting in Fall 2019, the History Major BA requirements have changed!
Each major must include in their course of study:
12 lower division units (History courses numbered 100-299, with the exception of History 107 may be used to fulfill this requirement)
History 300GW GWAR: Historical Methods
History 696 Seminar in Historical Methods
3 upper division units of US History
6 upper division units of Area Studies (no more than 3 of which may be European History)
3 upper division units of Chronological Breadth
