History offers a major that leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree and a minor for students majoring in other disciplines. The major consists of 39 credit hours in history. The minor consists of 15 credit hours in history. In addition, the Department offers an internship program (HTY 300 ) in cooperation with area historical societies, museums, libraries, and other institutions.
College Level Equivalency Program (CLEP) examinations are available in both Field I and Field II. Unusually well-prepared entering students who pass one or more of these examinations may substitute 300-level course(s) for the HTY 101 /HTY 102 and/or HTY 131 /HTY 132 introductory surveys.
A history major or minor must achieve at least six credits of B or better grades in history courses. No grade of D will count toward fulfillment of a history major or minor. Majors and minors are reminded that, in addition to History requirements, they must also meet those of the University Core curriculum.
